Re: narrow gauge passenger cars

Two very useful sources on D&RG / D&RGW narrow gauge passen ger service and equipment which might be worthwhile additons to your library are:
_A Ticket to Ride the Narrow Gauge: Colorado Rail Annual No. 24_ and _Rio Grande Narrow Gauge Varnish: Colorado Rail Annual No. 25_
Both are available from the Colorado RR Museum or other book sellers. Annual 24 is an overview of D&RGW narrow gauge passenger operations, from start to fin ish, with a short concluding look at the D&SNG and C&TS. Annual 25 is the equipment history, with drawings and detailed documentation about car use, rebuilding, and disposition.
I have found both to be very useful.
