| D&RGW PA1 6001 at Colorado Springs, Colorado on August 20, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is D&RGW's Tr|in #1, the Royal Gorge, which has just arrived from Denver. On the back of the train are cars from the CB&Q's Denver Zephyr. The DZ's cars will be cut off and a D&RGW switcher will drag them to the other side of town, where the will be attached to the northbound Royal Gorge and returned to Denver for the trip back to Chicago. This is what "Colorado Springs Connection" meant in both the CB&Q and D&RGW timetables. |
