Suitable for O/HO scales
The D&RGW served mainly as a transcontinental bridge line between
Denver, Colorado, and Salt Lake City, Utah. It was a major carrier of coal and
mineral traffic, with a motto of "Through the Rockies", not around
them. The Rio Grande was the epitome of mountain railroading, operating the
highest mainline rail line in the United States, including the over 10,240 ft
(3,121 m) Tennessee Pass in Colorado, and the famed routes through the Moffat
Tunnel and the Royal Gorge. At its height, around 1890, the D&RG had the largest
operating narrow gauge railroad network in North America. Large version comes
with supports.
