Rio Grande Locomotives Photo Archive Train Book

Description: Founded in 1870, Denver & Rio Grande Railroad—also known as Rio Grande—operated narrow gauge, standard gauge, and diesel locomotives in the spectacular Colorado Rockies. Their slogan was ''Through the Rockies, not Around Them.'' Narrow gauge photos include 2-8-0 Consolidations and 2-8-2 Mikado's. Standard gauge 4-8-4 Baldwin-built locomotives comprised the Class M-64 and M-68 ''Northerns'' but Rio Grande liked to call them ''Mountains.'' By 1956, Rio Grande entered the diesel era with Electro-Motive built passenger and freight locomotives FT, F3, F7, General Purpose and Special Duty series. Electro-Motive SD40T-2 ''Tunnel Motors,'' SD45 and SD50 locomotives are featured. Other photos include American Locomotive PA-PB and RS-3 series, Fairbanks-Morse H-15-44, and diesel-hydraulic ML-4 --> Visit Our Store About Us Feedback Newsletters Contact Us Rio Grande Locomotives Photo Archive Description Rio Grande Locomotives Photo Archive--> SKU: B05319 Founded in 1870, Denver & Rio Grande Railroad—also known as Rio Grande—operated narrow gauge, standard gauge, and diesel locomotives in the spectacular Colorado Rockies.
