The CRRM located in Golden, Colorado, just outside Denver, has received two standard guage passenger cars in the past two weeks. The museum doesn't have rail access so the cars were trucked from Denver's Burnham Yard to the museum, where a crane then unloaded them onto three rail track. (It's not often you see four ng diesels switching sg cars onto a turntable.) The first car is former Rio Grande Ski Train/RGZ/Prospector, baggage/coach combine #1231. The interior has been gutted, but will look great behind the RGZ F-units that we have. The second is the former RGZ backup diner 1116. (Ex-U.P.) It's largely intact, will be restored and moved from its present location by the roundhouse up next to the main building where it will be used for fundraising events.
I've never posted photos here, so we'll see if this works.
