===Kiowa Crossing and train wreck===
On May 21, 1878, a heavy rainstorm washed out the railroad bridge over [[Kiowa Creek (Colorado)|Kiowa Creek]] to the east of town. A [[Kansas Pacific Railway]] train of 25 cars loaded with scrap iron was washed into the stream with crewmen Frank Seldon, George Piatt, and John Bacon on board. Most of the wrecked train was recovered, but the locomotive #51 was never officially found. The story of the lost locomotive inspired [[Clive Cussler]] to write ''[[Night Probe!]]''; Later, in 1989, his nonprofit [[National Underwater and Marine Agency|NUMA]] searched for the locomotive with no luck, as it turned out the locomotive wasn't there to find. That same year, archivist Lloyd Glasier at Union Pacific discovered that the railroad had found the locomotive, secretly lifted it to the surface and towed it to their workshop, where they rebuilt it, put it back into service with a new number, and collected the insurance money for its loss in an insurance fraud.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.numa.net/expeditions/lost-locomotive-of-kiowa-creek/|publisher=NUMA.net|accessdate=May 18, 2016|title=Lost Locomotive of Kiowa Creek}}</ref>
