English: Title: The "Galloping Goose" rail car outside the Rio Grande Southern Railroad depot, built in 1923 in Dolores, a true railroad town in Montezuma County in far-southwest Colorado
Physical description: 1 photograph : digital, tiff file, color. Notes: Inside is a railroad museum, whose most notable and curious artifact sits on the tracks outside. It's the Galloping Goose No. 5, the fifth in a line of gasoline-powered truck-on-tracks vehicles custom built by Rio Grande Southern engineers during the cash-strapped Great Depression to pull a rail coach to make short mail runs up and down the Dolores Valley. This saved the expense of running a full steam engine and crew, and it put less strain on tracks and bridges, again saving the company money. This Galloping Goose is a Wayne Motor Bus, fitted with a 1925 Pierce Arrow engine.; Forms part of: Gates Frontiers Fund Colorado Collection within the Carol M. Highsmith Archive.; Credit line: Gates Frontiers Fund Colorado Collection within the Carol M. Highsmith Archive, Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division.; Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.; Purchase; Carol M. Highsmith Photography, Inc.; 2015; (DLC/PP-2015:068). |
