RGS - People & Maps

About 45 photos of RGS crews, sometimes with family members.  Also about 35 of other people.  Some photos of

interesting objects and documents.  In addition, there are a few pics of transportation means other than the railroad.

There are eight various maps and a couple of photos of Goose #2 and the rotary in action.  A 1991 picture taken at

the Muldoon last spike ceremony is included.

RD168

Miscellaneous

The title says it all!  D&RGW, RGS, D&S, C&TS.  Old, new, historic.  B/W and color (about 50-50)  Several shots of

K-27s plus the more modern engines.  Abandoned ROW, cars, buildings.  Geese, WP&Y tanks, OY, CRRM.

There are quite a few duplicates and some are merely xerographic copies of other pictures and as such are half-tones.

Some very nice pictures are here though.

RD169

Miscellaneous Modern

A hodgepodge of color photos, probably taken by Dorman showing various scenes from the C&TS including Goose

#5 events, tank cars arriving at Alamosa, some pics of #463 and several outings on the line.  Dick's Dolores depot

reconstruction is represented by several shots and visits to the Golden and Sacramento museums are included.

There are some photos of RGS artifacts and town detail shots along the line.  Some various standard gauge photos

are here as well.

RD170

RGS Book 11

Perhaps this was destined to be Dick's 11th book.  They all were found together in a folder with no markings.

This gallery covers the entire RGS line from Ridgway to Durango, showing almost all of its structures, equipment

and scenes along the line over an extended time frame.  There is a drawing of Plow-Flanger #02 and photos of RGS

silver passes, as well as a couple of maps and some timetable extracts.

RD171

Walter Virden Photographs

A collection of early RGS and associated subjects acquired from Bertha Virden, the widow of a long-time RGS

engineer who took pictures of his working environment

RD172

D&RGW Operations and Engines

This is another D&RGW gallery showing trains and operations along the 4th Division from Alamosa to Durango and

Silverton during the 1960s and 1970s.  Detail shots of D&RGW engines #318, #492 and #278 fill out the set.

RD173

St. Louis, Rocky Mountain & Pacific in Cimarron

This railroad operated into Cimarron, NM during the early 20th century.  There are pictures of its equipment and the

town of Cimarron as well as some from Elizabethtown, a nearby mining town.

RD174

D&RGW Engines

Detailed photos of D&RGW MoW equipment (flanger, pile driver) and engines #346, #318, #488 and #484.  A set of

early color postcards and some color renditions of Santa Fe calendar art finish out the gallery.

RD175

Miscellaneous

Another conglomeration of photos including some very early ones along with scenes from the D&RGW and RGS

operations in the mid-20th century.  Some Colorado Midland engines are represented here as well.

Gallery Table of Contents of 35 mm Slides
