NEW! Sparrows Point Division - HO Scale: New Haven Wood Baggage Car with Steel Underframe #3800-3946
A few weeks after taking up resi- dence in Denver, my first foray into life in the American west, a new book by R. C. Farewell arrived on my doorstep for review. Up until that point, I had known the Denver & Rio Grande West- ern only in broad generalities. Of course I knew about the Moffat Tunnel, of Big Ten Curve and Glenwood Canyon, mainly as items to be checked off on that long list of common destina- tions that make up most railfans’ buck- et lists. I had even ridden the Moffat Route as a teen, only a year after the merger with the Union Pacific had gone into effect. I remember seeing quite a few of the black and “Grande Gold” units around Denver Union Station downtown and throughout our trip across the continental divide. Like most smaller, regional railroads, how- ever, there was far more to the D&RGW than its classic paint scheme
