Looking on as Denver & Rio Grande Western Number 491 is readied for an evening on the Polar Express.

Great photo of DRG&W 491 one of the home built narrow gauge series engines - probably the only 490 class in steam I bet! - I thought the coal bunker used to be built up higher though!

Liked that Rio Grande GP30 on display in the background.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
