Colfax is a city located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of Placer County, California which was on the alignment of US Route 40.  Early US Route 40 within Colfax inherited the alignments of the North Lincoln Highway and Victory Highway upon the US Route System being created during November 1926.  Eastbound US Route 40 crossed through Colfax via Auburn Street, Grass Valley Street and Main Street.  US Route 40 can be seen as the blog cover photo crossing the First Transcontinental Railroad via Grass Valley Street as seen in the May 1939 California Highways & Public Works.

I read this title really quickly and thought you were inferring that Colfax Ave. in Denver was no longer US40.  :sombrero:
