Nostalgia & History > D&RGW steam at HelperDate: 09/23/16 13:50 D&RGW steam at Helper Author: donstrack Here are some recent scans from Dave England's collection. They are from 8x10 prints, that were very badly curled, and without any data as to photographer, date or location. Dave says they are not his photos, nor does he recall where they came from. All appear to be taken at Helper, Utah. About possible dates, one indicator would be that the last D&RGW steam locomotives left Utah in 1954.
