Re: D&RG 227 Photo?

Charlie is correct. This is a Fred Jukes photo, made in the summer of 1908 at the Chama engine terminal. Number 227 was Grant (c/n 1440-1882).
Fred gave me an original print from the negative which was later lost after Fred left many of his negatives with a friend, who later assumed he would never come back for them.

I used this in the Colorado Rail Annual as well as in the chapter about Fred in NARROW GAUGE COUNTRY. The three photographs of sister D&RG Grant #206 (with lace cab curtins) are also used in this book (pages 146 and 147). They were made at same time by Juke's friend George E. Barbor, who had gone to Chama for his health. The higher altitude was thought at the time to help breathing difficulties. Juke went to Chama to visit his friend and the two men made a number of D&RG photos while on fishing trips that summer. Barbor also photographed Jukes taking his great classic image of three 2-8-0s blasting up the 4 percent grade (pages 138 and 139).
