Operating as a tool car from 1952 until 1997, RGX-3327 was dispatched with D&RGW’s Diner-Kitchen-Sleeper RGX-3274 to serve with Derrick No. 027 when it was stationed in Denver. 

The D&RGW’s Burnham Shops in Denver converted a retired 1939 automobile boxcar for maintenance-of-way functions. 

Locomotive No. 3006 is a rare surviving example of a second-generation diesel road switcher that remains in near original operating condition.  General Motors Corporation constructed the locomotive in 1962 as part of its GP-30 series.

The 1966 rail car is a rare surviving example of a standard gauge, open top, triple-bay, 70-ton hopper car.  Used to carry coal, limestone, dolomite and other bulk materials not requiring weather protection, the 70-ton hopper is a freight car type important to the operation of the Rio Grande Railroad during the later part of the 20th century. 

The 1910 car, extensively rebuilt in 1936, provided dining and lounge car service throughout the Rio Grande system from 1910 until its retirement in 1961. 

Starting its life as a diner, the D&RGW’s Burham Shops refitted the retired car to perform maintenance-of-way functions.

Built in 1923, the derrick operated for over 70 years as the centerpiece of work trains throughout the Rio Grande rail system. 

D&RGW Railroad Derrick Blocking and Truck Car No. X-3317 is important as a representative type of railroad maintenance-of-way rolling stock.  

Designed to transport dry powdered materials, such as grain and cement, the 1949 car dates from a period when railroads and freight car manufacturers experimented with the relatively new car type in an effort to create an efficient and effective design. 

The 1960 rail car is a rare surviving example of a standard gauge, 50-ton bulkhead flatcar.
