Photo of the Adobe wreck on the Denver Rio Grande Railroad (D RG RR) near FT. Bonney, March of 1906. Black white, image measures 8.5x6.5. There is some age fading, and a few minor spots. The photo depicts a head-on crash between 2 steam locomotives, with a crowd of curious on-lookers gathered at the side of the site. Very rare. The Denver Rio Grande Railroad connected with the narrow gauge Cripple Creek line which ran up the narrow canyon to the railroad depot and mining town of Florence (elev 5199). Oli was discovered in 1881, and the town`s growth took off. HKA#62314
