While the Rio Grande was well known for heavy trains climbing steep grades with high horsepower locomotives, there were a few exceptions. On a bright June morning in 1987, the steel gang welder's motor car was parked in the Soldier Summit yard for the weekend.
Photo albums dedicated to the Men, and Women that keep the Railroad running around the clock 365 days a year. From Dispatcher to Track Gangs, these are the people that make the railroad moves!
A tribute of appreciation to the workers who maintain the track, keeping our railways in shape regardless of weather and danger, and keeping them running effeciently.
