Serving mountain communities, farms, and mines from the 1800s into the mid-1900s, the Rio Grande ran trains through mountain gorges, and across the highest rail mainline in America to deliver on the DRG’s early motto, “Through the Rockies, not around them.” Engines and trains featured in the 2022 edition include: • Denver and Rio Grande Western 484 and 491 are doing a good job on a westbound freight in June 1964. • Denver and Rio Grande Western 484 was plowing out the sidings at Cumbres, CO when it derailed on February 20, 1953. • Denver and Rio Grande Western 495 is leading a southbound Farmington Turn three miles north of Aztec, NM on September 28, 1960. • Denver and Rio Grande Western Class K-36 Mikado (2-8-2) 488 is being serviced prior to making Farmington Turn on June 30, 1961. • Denver and Rio Grande Western 478 and 476 are on a double-headed westbound 22-car freight, stopped for water at Sublette, NM on May 28, 1968. • Denver and Rio Grande Western 493 along with 483 has brought a westbound freight from Alamosa. • Rio Grande Southern Mudhens 461 and 455 are at Ridgway, CO, on August 31, 1951. • Denver and Rio Grande Western’s eastbound San Juan is making a station stop at Chama, NM in 1949. • Denver and Rio Grande Western 486 and 491 are on a livestock car empty on September 26, 1960. • Denver and Rio Grande Western 499 is on an eastbound 16-car livestock train in Monero Canyon, NM on October 8, 1963. • Denver and Rio Grande Western 488 and 492 are leading an eastbound Gramps Tank train October 11, 1962. • Denver and Rio Grande Western 485, a Class K-36 Mikado is shuffling a cut of freight cars December 31, 1950. © 2021 Tide-mark Press Read more
