Nostalgia & History > Protecting the ServiceDate: 12/04/04 09:19 Protecting the Service Author: GrandeGold One of the things I liked most about the Rio Grande was it's commitment to service. Witness this "Railblazer" sprint train I spotted on Labor Day in 1987. Even though tonnage was light, D&RGW management protected the scheduled service and ran three trailers from Roper (Salt Lake City) east all the way to Denver...some 570 miles in about 14 hours!
Gotta' love the Rio Grande, AKA "The Action Road." James Date: 12/04/04 09:44 Re: Protecting the Service Author: Amtkrd4man New meaning to "Hot...Short....and sweet"
