With well over 100 years of history, the Denver & Rio Grande Western, also known as the Rio Grande, has long been the epitome of mountain railroading. While the D&RGW may not have been the first of the narrow gauge locomotives, it certainly sparked what would later be known as the Narrow Gauge Frenzy of the era. A beautiful scenic ride through the Rockies, there’s no doubt that the Rio Grande has contributed to countless memories for its passengers over its decades of service.

We’re celebrating this magnificent locomotive with some fabulous new items, including

a gorgeous print and a comfortable t-shirt, found right here on page 2!

You’ll also discover a variety of new exciting rail DVD programs on page 28, as well as a wide selection of the latest diesel locomotives on page 11, and HO scale vehicles on page 34.

So, pick your favorites and call us toll free at 800-261-5922, visit HistoricRail.com, or mail in the order form provided.

Thanks for shopping!
