Looking at these photo's and contemplating how these change took place, amazes me about the quality of workmanship the Denver and Rio Grande employed They truly weren't your run of the mill personnel, sidelining locomotives after a flue extension expired, they were always trying to make what they were dealing with better quality, like a locomotive engineer trying to get the best steaming quality out of a chunk of coal. The D&RG shop crews were always thinking above and beyond for their company, It makes more sense now to me, how they could rebuild a standard gauge locomotive into a narrow gauge locomotive, their ingenuity was was top of the line, I sure wish I knew more about those people and what their planning and thought processes werelike to motivated them in doing such great and amazing things for the greater good and success of the D&RG.
Still a Student,
