Denver & Intermountain Railroad

The D&IM management tested the D&RGW 100. It is equipped with a trolley pole for actuating signals. Not needed on the D&IM D&IM tested a Pacific Electric Baldwin switcher. D&IM management has purchased a third hand SW-1 so they had a locomotive not dependant on overhead wire. Is this the future?
     
 A 2 car passenger train departs for Victor and the shift change at the Weart Mine.  The freight train will leave for the mine load-out after the passenger train returns.  The train passed the lead to the industrial area of Victor.

Traffic on Denver & Intermountain experienced a surge in business so they leased two Chicago South Shore  & South Bend 80 ton steeple cabs. They are seen leaving the yard with a short freight train.

On today's run, a combine is carrying the markers. Today's run was for passengers, stopping at Elkton, no cars to move today.

While clear skies mean no immediate need for the Rotary, the weather will change and the battle against snow in the high country will begin.
