D&RGW PA1 6001
Title:  D&RGW PA1 6001
Description:  D&RGW VO-660 72 and PA1 6001 at Colorado Springs, Colorado, August 20, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The switcher will pick up the cars setout after the first dome in this photo. This is Train #1 on both the CB&Q and D&RGW. The Rio Grande's Number 1, The Royal Gorge, will continue west and the switcher will put the setout cars onto the back of their freight cars and drag them over to the other side of town, a true mixed train. This is how the CB&Q managed the Colorado Springs Connection. It wasn't a bad deal; you got to ride all the way from Chicago to Colorado Springs without leaving your bedroom compartment on the train. You were assured of meal service because the CB&Q sent their Chuck Wagon dome diner along on the connection from Denver to Colorado Springs. They generally switched 3-4 cars to the Rio Grande's #1 to get them moved to Colorado Springs. I had the pleasure of that trip when I was 16. Sadly, I did not get to enjoy a ride on the mixed train, but my parents indulged me enough to get a couple of photos, here's one.

D&RGW PA1 6001
Title:  D&RGW PA1 6001
Description:  D&RGW PA1 6001 at Colorado Springs, Colorado on August 20, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is Train #1, The Royal Gorge, which departed Denver at 9:00 AM, Mountain Standard Time, and arrived in Colorado Springs at 10:40 AM. Ten minutes was allowed for the station stop during which the CB&Q's Denver Zephyr cars were cut off the train. Note the blue flag (sign) hanging in the Engineer's window. After the DZ cars are uncoupled, #1 will continue on to Pueblo and then terminate at Salida at 3:15 PM. The DZ cars will be moved to the other side of town by the Rio Grande's switcher and picked up by the returning The Royal Gorge, Train #2, and forwarded to Denver where they will be cut into the waiting Denver Zephyr for the final leg of the journey to Chicago.

Title:  D&RGW PA1 6001
Description:  D&RGW PA1 6001 at Colorado Springs, Colorado on August 20, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is D&RGW's Train #1, the Royal Gorge, which has just arrived from Denver. On the back of the train are cars from the CB&Q's Denver Zephyr. The DZ's cars will be cut off and a D&RGW switcher will drag them to the other side of town, where the will be attached to the northbound Royal Gorge and returned to Denver for the trip back to Chicago. This is what "Colorado Springs Connection" meant in both the CB&Q and D&RGW timetables.

The rest of the train is the CB&Q's Denver Zephyr Colorado Springs connection (picked up in Colorado Springs) and consists of: a GN coach, a 10-6 sleeper, one of the Chuck Wagon dome/lounge/dormitory cars, a Slumbercoach, and another sleeper. Upon arrival in Denver, a CB&Q Alco S2 will remove the DZ cars and cut them into the waiting Zephyr for the rest of the trip to Chicago.

D&RGW PA1 6011
Title:  D&RGW PA1 6011
Description:  D&RGW PA1 6011 northbound on Train # 2, The Royal Gorge, arriving at Colorado Springs, Colorado on August 20, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Note the crew of the switcher coming to work, in the lower right center of this photo. Also known as "hurry up and wait", trains didn't always arrive on their advertised time, so sometimes you waited. On the left is the cab and hood of D&RGW Baldwin VO-660 72. I'm 16 years old and standing on the steps of a Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad sleeper, shooting a train that the sleeper car will soon be attached to. The CB&Q had a connection from Denver to Colorado Springs (CS), and the connection cars would be removed from the arriving Denver Zephyr at Denver and attached to the rear of the D&RGW Train # 1, The Royal Gorge, for the connection move to CS. I vacationed with my parents in the summer of 1964, and on the last day of the vacation, they allowed me to hang around at the two railroad stations in CS. I photographed the removal of the connection at the D&RGW station and the re-connection to the returning Train # 2, also The Royal Gorge, which took us back to Denver for re-attachment to the DZ (Train # 10) for return to our home in the Chicago area.

D&RGW PA1 6011
Title:  D&RGW PA1 6011
Description:  D&RGW PA1 6011 at Denver, Colorado on August 20, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was Train # 2, the Royal Gorge, daily train between Denver, Pueblo, and Salida (as Train # 1) and return (as Train # 2). It's about 4:00 PM MST, and # 2 has just arrived. Attached to the rear were cars from CB&Q's Denver Zephyr, which this train picked up in Colorado Springs. Upon arrival in Denver a CB&Q Alco S2 switcher removed the Zephyr cars and cut them into the waiting CB&Q Train # 10, the eastbound Denver Zephyr, part of which can bee seen on the far left side. Once the brakes are tested, the Zephyr will depart for its overnight run to Chicago. I was fortunate to be a 16 year old passenger on both trains, and never slept a wink all the way to Chicago, even though my parents had booked a Slumbercoach duplex sleeper room for me. I sat in empty Denver Zephyr dome cars all night to Chicago. I had my choice of two dome cars on # 10, I preferred the forward dome because you could watch the signals change as the train passed each one, but the rear dome was for first class passengers, so it had that advantage. Everyone was in bed and the crew didn't care where I sat.
