Former D&RGW employee Gary Rich gives you an insider's view of the Denver & Rio Grande Western operations between Denver and Bond, Colorado, including photos and text describing their snow removal activity.
Warren Caileff offers a number of excellent black & white photographs of railroaders doing their job in Louisiana taken mostly during the 1970's.
