Series VII: Denver's Burnham Yards: The Rio Grande (DRGW), Colorado & Southern, and Santa Fe Railway (ATSF) facilities

 Series

Scope and Contents

This series consists of photographs of the facilities in Denver, Colorado's Burnham Yards. These photographs were not submitted to the Commission and as such do not have identifying exhibit numbers. These photographs document railroad facilities in and around Denver, Colorado. This includes industries around Cherry Creek, the Rio Grande's Car Shops and Freight Yards, AT&SF Yards, Denver Union Station and its passenger Yards, and grade crossings in industrial areas. Because these photographs were not used before the Commission, there is limited descriptive data for some of the images. As the Burnham Shops and Yards were the hub of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, it is likely that these photographs were taken by one of its employees. The D&RGW was a class I railroad operating in the western United States between Colorado and California.
