Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
Denver & Rio Grande Railroad (D&RG or DRG) historically was a narrow gauge railway system which served the mines of Colorado. The name was later changed to the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&RGW or DRGW) .
In 1988, Rio Grande Industries, the company that controlled the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad, under the direction of Philip Anschutz, purchased the Southern Pacific Railroad. The combined company took the Southern Pacific name due to its name recognition among shippers.
Today, the D&RGW's Ski Train serves the city of Winter Park, Colorado out of Union Station in Denver.
