Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad, (nickname Rio Grande) formerly the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, was an American Class I railroad company. Railroad started as a 3 ft narrow-gauge line running south from Denver, CO in 1870. Served mainly as a transcontinental bridge line between Denver, and Salt Lake City, UT. Line was mainly mountain railroading with motto being "Through the Rockies, not around them." Operated highest mainline rail line in the US, over the 10,240' Tennessee Pass in CO, and the famed routes through the Moffat Tunnel and the Royal Gorge. In mid-1880s, it had the largest narrow-gauge railroad network in North America with 2,783 miles of track interconnecting the states of CO, NM, and UT. Operated Rio Grande Zephyr until its discontinuation in 1983. This was the last private intercity passenger train in US until Brightline began service in Florida in 2018. In 1988, the Rio Grande's parent corp., Rio Grande Industries, purchased Southern Pacific Transportation Company. Southern Pacific Railroad name was chosen for identity due to bigger size. Rio Grande operated as a separate division of Southern Pacific until that company was acquired by the Union Pacific Railroad. Today, most former main lines are owned and operated by the Union Pacific while several branch lines are operated as heritage railways by various companies. Prag collection.
