I can only imagine what it would have been like to be William Henry Jackson from 1870-1890. Wow. It seems like he took the very best early photos of the D&RG, DSP&P, CC, and such. My two favorites have to be the staged trains from the day before the Loop opened, and the double header on the high line. I'm not surprised that the prolific savers of the end of the NG were big fans of the early days.
Glenn, if you are referring to my post, my contention was the opposite. I have little doubt that the D&RG
W has more people interested in it, but I don't find it to be anywhere near as interesting as the (early) D&RG.
