| | Title: | Rio Grande Southern Railroad tracks covered by snow near Burns Canyon (Colo.) | ||
| Date/circa: | 1950/1951 | |||
| Photographer: | Chione, Alfred G. (Morton, Ill.) | |||
| Subjects: | Rio Grande Southern Railroad (Colo.); ; Railroads--Colorado--Track--Pictorial works; Burns Canyon (Colo.) | |||
| Notes: | Near Mile Post 63. Probably south/lower end of Burns Canyon, near Rico. "That slide was notorious for closing the railroad there. Since it was not plowed, I'd figure it was in 1950 or 1951 since by this time they [had] lost the ability to fight the deep snows." [Source of quote: Robert Herrone, email 3/27/07.] | |||
