Nostalgia & History > D&RGW RGZ at Grand Jct, CO. (summer '81)Date: 03/20/05 06:00 D&RGW RGZ at Grand Jct, CO. (summer '81) Author: the_expediter Mr. James Belmont's recent postings of the D&RGW biz car "Wilson McCarthy" got me motivated to look through some of my slides. In the late summer of '81, I rode RGZ from Salt Lake to Denver and return. When I arrived at Denver's Union Station, I was dismayed to see the WM on the tail of the train, blocking any nice views out the rear of Silver Sky. Oh well... Here's #17, the wb RGZ, being serviced at Grand Jct, CO. I'm glad I chose to spend the 15 minutes alotted there to detrain and shot some pics... enjoy- Steve
