railfancwb Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Almost 140 years ago, narrow gauge track reached back into the San Juan Mountains of Colorado searching for gold. Durango was founded, then Silverton. Since that time narrow gauge trains have continued to carry passengers into and back out of those mountains. Those early trains did not look much different from those you can ride today on the Durango and Silverton Railroad and Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Winan’s Camel. An O Scale 1:48 model of a locomotive design bought by the 100s by Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, most if not all before the Civil War. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railfancwb Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 A later style - maybe upgraded by the railroad shops - of Winan’s Camel. Smokestack is most notable change. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railfancwb Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Should have used this photo to illustrate stack differences in the Winan’s Camels. And these are Camels, not Camelbacks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railfancwb Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 In the heyday of streetcars, before private automobiles and paved roads were common, streetcar companies included the larger public cemeteries on their routes. People wishing to visit the graves of their loved ones made a nice increase in fares. In some larger communities, streetcar companies even had funeral cars in which the casket and a number of family members and others could go to the cemetery together. The company would happily add one or more cars to the procession if needed. Here are a few pictures of a preserved and restored funeral car. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
