Album Info:This is a nice group of color slides on Denver & Rio Grande Western 2-8-0 narrow gauge Consolidation #318. Although the slides are stamped April of 1974, it's obvious that these were taken sometime in the early 1950's. For the most part, the color saturation & stability is very good for 47 year old slides! No location or photographer was listed.
