I grew up on trains in the area. My dad was an employee of the line for many years, as a station master, telegrapher and dispatcher. The scenes brought back many memories.

Tennesee Pass.

Comments:
I grew up in Leadville, CO, and many of fond childhood memories are of watching the 6 or 8 units dragging up Tennessee Pass. There are several places where you can stop by the highway and be close enough to the engines to see the crews smiling and waving back to a child's frantic waving and pumping of arms in hope of getting a blast off the horns. My house was about 3 miles south of the Malta Yard so I got some great train watching right from my living room.

Nice site, but your RGZ page does not open. May want to check MSN. I was born and raised in Denver up until the time I joined the US Navy (1982). I model N scale DRGW. Moving to settle in Florida in December. If you happen to know anyone that has a set of the Con-Cor N scale California Zephyr corrugated passenger cars they wish to sell, please feel free to give them my email address. Thanks again and keep up the Rio Grande pictures. I have some that once I g t my entire computer setup again (after the move) I will try to scan them in and send you. Chris

ManyHA-HAs reading your ArkCanyon Adventure. Made the wife & I feel better we weren't the only Looky-See Loonies in the Gorge trying to catch of the last of the GRANDE and meeting with misadventure, We got caught in the final gasps of hurricane Fausto @ T inidad and saw our tent (with the icechest) go into the top of a Pinon Pine on the way into the area. Had a blast, though and nobody hurt. Sidetracked to Victor and caught first snowfall, etc. You know how silly it gets at altitude. Great to have you hare the same sort of adventures stalking the greatest railroad in the USA instead of just heading to the Ng tourist lines for a cutsey ride on the teakettles. Did you make it to Moffat Tunnel for eight units in Run Eight with an EMPTY train? Nothing li e it anywhere this side of the CP at Rogers' Pass.

I live in the UK and in the seventies started to model the Rio Grande in 'N' gauge but events forced me to give up the hobby. Now being on the internet I have descovered that the Rio Grande know longer exists, and many other large Railroads for that matte . You in the US are having the same problems as us over here. I would love to know the history of the Rio Grande from 1978 up to its demice.

Comments:
Its few and far between that I get the opportunity to read, much less see photos of the Rio Grande Railroad. Every now and then I see a picture in Trains or Railfan & Railroad. I simply want to know whats left of the railroad and how the big Union Pacific is carving up my old beloved railroad. I live in Fairbanks, Alaska where I only get to watch the new Alaska Railroad SD-70MACS and dream of growing up in Colorado watching the big SD-40T Tunnel Motors head west from Denver. Please keep an update on whats happen

I like your site! My husband used to live in Denver and has told me all about the Ski Train. We are both huge train fans in general. We recently developed a web site selling wooden replica trains. They are Brio-compatible toy trains with authentic colo s and markings of many American Railroads. We carry a D&RGW diesel engine, hopper, cattle car, and caboose. We are in the process of gathering links to add to our site. Would you be interested in exchanging links? Do you have any ideas of how I could each D&RGW fans to let them know about our products? Thanks. K. Pratt Trains 4 Less http://www.trains4less.com

Enjoyed the site. My grandfather was an engineer for the 'dangerous and rapidly growing worse' line for many years until his retirement. I was raised on stories of the LaVeta pass, Gunnison, and the famous Saguche road. He was based out of Alamosa and drove everything they had that was steam and diesel until he quit. Too bad they got bought out and we'll lose the logo eventually.Thanks for what you've done. Dan Riley

Hello, I recieved e-mail from a friend of mine who is an old Rio Grander as well as my father who worked for Rio Grande for 26 years. I myself work for the Union Pacific currently but went through the many changes of being a Rio Grander and working for So thern Pacific and now Union Pacific at Glenwood Springs. All these have there history behind their names but not quite as interesting as the Denver and Rio Grande. I've just seen a little bit of your website and it looks quite interesting keep up the good work.
