This website was created from a copy of passcarphotos.info which was originally saved on April 26, 2018. The website was originally created and managed by J.M. LaBODA who passed away in early 2018. When his website disappeared this copy was erected to keep the massive amount of information he collected available to all. We are also working to recover his other two websites: interurbancarphotos.info and pcccarphotos.info

Due to many of the photographs linking to external websites, not all of the links will continue to work as time goes on. A full offline copy of this website can be downloaded here: passcarphotos.zip

PASSENGER CAR PHOTO INDEX - DENVER & RIO GRANDE WESTERN NARROW GAUGE




DENVER & RIO GRANDE WESTERN NARROW GAUGE

UPDATED WITH 15 NEW LINKS ADDED.

I cannot promise you that all links will remain working since I have no control over this.  To contact me my email address is jmlaboda[at]passcarphotos.info. 

Recommended Sites:
  • The Rio Grande Modeling & Historical Society works to preserve the rich history of the lines, providing a wealth of information not only to members but also to modelers and railfans in general. 
  • The Dener Public Library's Western Heritage/Genealogy Digital Collection features a vast array of photos by well-known and lesser known railroad photographers.  In the search box type in "Rio Grande narrow guage" to begin your search. 
  • The Cumbers & Toltec Scenic Railroad operates a portion of the former Rio Grande narrow-gauge operations between Antonito, Colorado and Chama, New Mexico. 
  • The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad operates between its namesake towns in Colorado.  


     
         		 Some important changes were recently made at Flickr.com that affects how a person views images and I felt it is important enough of a change to mention it here.  In the past clicking on an image or right clicking on an image provided for larger sizes to be chosen, and, as it is with the vast majority of shots linked to from this website, a considerably larger image could be seen.  Now left clicking on the download icon (shown at left) in the lower right corner of the screen will bring up the available sizes for all images, all one has to do now is to choose the size and it will load.  I hope that this info will help in viewing images at Flickr.


     
     
         		 When viewing images that are hosted by various Libraries, state-run archives and Universities keep in mind that with most you can click on the icon that looks like the image to the left to view larger sizes of the image.  While size still is limited in some larger sizes the image will be considerably larger than if it were viewed in the original pane, which helps greatly in seeing detail on various cars.  I will be attempting to edit various links to show the larger image but in the mean time this will help anyone interested to be able to view the larger image until the conversion is complete.
