It's train time at Helper! At least half a dozen workers are on the ground, prepping the Rio Grande Zephyr for it's 175 mile journey east to Grand Junction, Colorado. Interesting details in this Kodachrome transparency include the old freight house track veering to the left, the silver painted combine car, D&RGW's depot with it's original flat roof, the standard of the day blue Chevrolet service truck, and a pair of healthy shade trees lining the north end of the station platform. Lots of great memories here of a wonderful place to observe the Denver & Rio Grande Western doing it's thing.
