Railroadiana
Colorado railroad history in original photographs, passes, pamphlets, annual reports, maps and ephemera. From the 1870s on, narrow-gauge lines like the Denver & Rio Grande and the Denver, South Park & Pacific raced each other into the mountains, followed by the Colorado Midland, Otto Mears’ toll roads and short lines, and dozens of local railways serving the mining camps. The material they left behind is varied and often beautifully made: engraved passes, promotional booklets written to fill passenger cars, stereoviews of trains on high trestles and loops. Each piece is described with its railroad, date, issuer and condition, and placed in the history of the line. Highlights have included items associated with S. K. Hooper, the Rio Grande’s long-serving general passenger agent. Please contact me about a particular railroad or route.
