Denver & Rio Grande Western K-28 #477 eases a mixed train over the ‘High Bridge’ across the Animas River.
This photograph was captured during a photo shoot on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, organised by Trains Magazine. K-28 locomotive #473 had been re-numbered for the event to portray #477 with Rio Grande ‘speed lettering’ while still working on the D&RGW. The real K-28 #477 was shipped to Alaska during World War II for service on the White Pass & Yukon Railroad and eventually scrapped in Alaska, never returning to Colorado.
