Remarks & Notes

DRGW 488 patiently waits its turn at Cumbres while the road engine takes water. Note the snowshed, now gone.

The DRGW narrow gauge was the last major steam operation in the U.S. The climb over 10,000 foot Cumbres pass was spectacular, with two engines handling 70 car trains. Hopefully these images convey some of the drama of mountain steam railroading.
