Some D&RGW Meets... (April 1983)
Author: the_expediter

In April of '83, I rode one of the last D&RGW Rio Grande Zephyr's from Salt Lake to Denver and back. This series is taken from #18, the eastbound RGZ. Here we are meeting or passing #3079 as we climb toward Soldier Summit.

A beautiful series, thanks for sharing them. Wasn’t it ’83 Thistle vanished?

I think it was late April, 1983, when the walls came tumblin' down! I was on one of the last RGZ's to run, within several weeks...Steve
