Viewing Album:  DRGW 2-8-0ng #318 - circa 1950's - Reposted
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:6/1/1952 - 6/1/1952
Album Info:This is a nice group of color slides on Denver & Rio Grande Western 2-8-0 narrow gauge Consolidation #318. Although the slides are stamped April of 1974, it's obvious that these were taken sometime in the early 1950's. For the most part, the color saturation & stability is very good for 47 year old slides! No location or photographer was listed. These photos were re-posted on 3/2/2025 after the RRPC crash.
