Album Info:This is a nice group of color slides on Denver & Rio Grande Western 2-8-0 narrow gauge Consolidation #268. Although the slides are stamped April of 1974, it's obvious that these were taken sometime in the early 1950's since #268 was donated to Gunnison, CO in 1955. For the most part, the color saturation & stability is very good for 47 year old slides! No location or photographer was listed.

DRGW 2-8-0ng #268 - Denver & Rio Grande Western
Title:  DRGW 2-8-0ng #268 - Denver & Rio Grande Western
Description:  Good looking narrow gauge 2-8-0 Consolidation originally built by Burnham, Parry, Wms & Co (Baldwin predecessor) as Denver & Rio Grande #268 in April of 1882. The loco served first the Denver & Rio Grande and then DRGW until it was retired and donated to Gunniscon, CO, as a display. Specs - serial #6002, class 60/C-16, narrow gauge, 36" drivers, very modest 130 psi boiler pressure, small 15x20" cylinders, modest engine weight of 60,000 lb, very modest tractive effort of 13,813 lb. No location or photographer was listed for the slide. Although the slide has an April, 1974 date stamp, the photo date is more in alignment with early 1950's, especially since this loco was donated in 1955.
