HHHhhhhmmmmm -
It seems the ad agency that prepared the one on the right didn't check on the railroad's history:
It say's "... 82 years ago with the incorporation of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad
- October 27, 1870. IIRC, the D&RG and the RGW didn't merge until quite a few years later ...
- El Curmudgeono de la Costa de Oro
