Instruction cars were used primarily for employee training - helping railroaders learn about equipment, safety procedures, and handling hazardous materials. Exhibit cars also served the public, offering traveling displays that highlighted railroad history, safety awareness, and career opportunities. Together, these cars represented both education and outreach, making them a fascinating and memorable part of railroad history. The models of these specialized cars are based on modified coach tooling originally developed for the 1947 American Freedom Train models. Since every prototype inspection and exhibit car was custom-built and truly one-of-a-kind, it isn't possible to reproduce each one exactly. Instead, the 80{ modified coach design was modified to capture the look and spirit of these distinctive cars.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Each car features appropriate details and is equipped with appropriate trucks with metal wheels, Kadee(R) metal knuckle couplers and sprung diaphragms.

By the 1920s, the legendary narrow gauge system of the Denver and Rio Grande Western had shrunk to a third of the railroad's total trackage, and most of its locomotives were worn out. Yet, traffic was heavy on some parts of the line and growing, and standard gauging the lines made little economic sense. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  So the long-time Baldwin customer turned to the Philadelphia firm for 10 new narrow gauge, outside frame Mikados. Designated K-36 (MiKado, 36,200lbs of tractive effort), these beefy Baldwins were soon hauling freight over the four percent grades of Cumbres and Marshall passes and indeed, system-wide. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Fast forward almost a century later, and nine of the locomotives still exist and eight are in service on the Durango and Silverton and Cumbres and Toltec Scenic railroads. Truly a remarkable record of service and why the K-36 is beloved by railfans and the crewmen who ran them. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Author Jerry Day spent over 40 years compiling information and over 300 photos, maps, track folios, drawings and diagrams, including a three-page foldout drawing by Mike McKenzie for this volume. In addition, this 224-page hardcover book includes the DRGW purchase of the K-36s and changes made to the lines to accommodate them, the operational history on the lines they ran, and accounts of K-36 snow fighting operations, special passenger runs, wrecks, movie trains, locomotive modifications and changes, and a section on the K-36s as they operate today on the C\u0026amp;TS and D\u0026amp;S railroads.

By the mid 20th century, specialized stockcars were still hauling livestock on the rails, but the cars had been modernized with many of the features found on other rolling stock of the era. This WalthersMainline model captures many of the spotting features of these 1950s built wood prototypes, including corrugated steel Dreadnaught ends, a metal roof and roofwalk and body mounted handbrake. Other details include simulated wood slats, Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers and metal 33\" scale diameter wheels.

These cars were designed for transporting goods that needed to be shielded from extreme temperature variations. While initially used to transport canned goods and newsprint, the cars became very popular for shipping beverages and perishables. While not providing actual refrigeration, a refrigerated load could expect to hold its temperature within a few degrees for several days in transit.

Heart of the Rockies is the second of a series of all-color books illustrating the Denver \u0026amp; Rio Grande Western as it traversed its home territory in Colorado and Utah. The first five chapters in this volume cover the Moffat Road west from Denver to Craig, Colorado. The last chapter covers the Dotsero Cutoff. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   Originally built to serve the boom or bust mining communities scattered throughout the mountains, the Rio Grande found its long-term success in the transcontinental freight and passenger business, all the while surrounded by larger carriers intent on putting the road out of business. D\u0026amp;RGW's agile and innovative demeanor and its willingness to go the extra mile to provide excellent service made it a customer favorite in spite of the road's small size and limited line haul. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   While some of the scenes in this volume could be reproduced given the right circumstances, many, like the Rio Grande itself, are gone forever.

Built by the same General Palmer who had contributed so much to the early Denver \u0026amp; Rio Grande in Colorado, the line across the eastern Utah desert to the Wasatch Front never had large precious mineral deposits as the siren song attraction for railroad construction. This road would rely on the more mundane carloads of coal, iron ore, and copper as its early mainstay. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Following the merger of the Utah and Colorado lines in 1908, the company began focusing on upgrading its property and soliciting traffic from far beyond the borders of its two home states. This transcontinental traffic, along with the burgeoning coal business developed after World War II, would make the D\u0026amp;RGW a successful and profitable property, despite being surrounded by much larger, and often unfriendly carriers. A portion of the Utah Division's history is noted in the coverage of the remnants of D\u0026amp;RGW's far-flung narrow-gauge empire in Colorado. But the real story lies west of Grand Junction, where merchandise, lumber products, perishables and piggyback shipments were added to the area's considerable mineral traffic and the few remaining passenger trains operated during the latter years of D\u0026amp;RGW ownership. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  As with many enterprises, circumstances are always changing and despite its own good management and customer-oriented operations, the D\u0026amp;RGW was not always in control of its own fate. One by one the needed connections were eliminated until the D\u0026amp;RGW was forced to cast its lot with a weakened Southern Pacific. This would prove to be a short-lived partnership and as the 20th century drew to a close, new owner Union Pacific finally got its wish of killing off the D\u0026amp;RGW once and for all. Today, some of the lines covered in this volume see no UP trains at all on a regular basis, but the pictures and stories herein provide a look back to better days, when the Rio Grande was indeed the Jewel of the Wasatch.

The Denver \u0026amp; Rio Grande Western Railroad was built through the Rocky Mountains, not around them. A tenacious rebel, Rio Grande survived for more than a century as an independent railroad in a land of giants. At the end of the 20th century, the enduring memory of Rio Grande is one of black and gold diesels thundering through smoky tunnels on a right-of-way blasted out of solid rock by construction engineers who didn't know the meaning of the word impossible. With 223 full-color photographs and nine lavishly illustrated maps, this volume presents a retrospective of a railroad where words of description always fall short. In the pages of Scenic Line of the World may be found all of the elements that made Rio Grande the scenic wonder it was. The evergreen mountains of La Veta Pass, the bare rock of the Royal Gorge, the golden aspen on Tennessee Pass, the multi-colored sandstone of Ruby and Bootlegger Canyons, the moonscape of the Utah desert, the majestic Wasatch Range, and the sheer ruggedness of the entire Moffat Road - all are here in one amazing volume. Through acquisitions and mergers, Rio Grande slowly lost its personality to that of Southern Pacific, and later, Union Pacific. The images in this book help preserve the memory of the last years of the Rio Grande and perhaps provide some justification for the railroad s bold claim of being the Scenic Line of the World.
