Thank you for the car capacity specification 50 tons is quite impressive. Can only imagine if the D&RGW made its Narrowgauge lines to the present day with this equipment going over Marshall, Cerro or Cumbres passes hauling coal and other bulk commodities. I wonder if it would have made any difference to the narrow gauge of Colorado and New Mexico...
We have witnessed valley
and plain and crest,
Canon and pass we've scanned;
We have seen the best
of the glorious West,
by the trail of the Rio Grande
