The Diesel film I have of the last run of the ROYAL GORGE(Then called train number 1-2), arrived westbound at Pueblo without backing into the depot as you suggested. Or at least I think it did. There is a vestibule shot of it approaching town, and one can see the overpass north of the depot and the depot in the distance. Next we are moving alongside the depot, so I suppose they could have backed in, but it doesn't appear to be that way.
Am confused by the map.....According to the map and images, the train (1)would be heading northward geographically. Then which way would it go(left, or westward past the yard)?? if going to Salida, or is that another RR line.
I just assumed that a southbound train from Denver would go straight into Pueblo depot, then after the stop would diverge west through the Royal Gorge south of the depot someplace!
Is the junction to the Royal Gorge North of the Depot or South of the depot in Pueblo??
