Remarks & Notes

Winter in the Rockies. The Durango & Silverton's annual Winter Photo Train transits the ledge above Elbert Creek with the frozen Shalona Lake and the foothills of the San Juan Mountains as a backdrop. This year, the power was the newly overhauled K-28 #478. The loco was sporting a 1930s paint scheme lettered for the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad....complete with the "toilet seat" logo. The consist included some freight cars as well as a Pullman Green RPO, two coaches and a caboose....all lettered for the D&RGW. A fresh layer of snow and a chill in the air provided a great winter feel to the photos taken by the patrons this day.
