Big Train Tours: That's Rich! Business Car "Rico"

Time for a new "Big Train Tour!" Each tour will focus on a different piece of historic equipment in the Colorado Railroad Museum’s collection.
This episode we'll examine a railroad business car that was originally built for the Denver & Rio Grande as a railway postal car, but ended up spending most of its service life on Southwestern Colorado’s famed Rio Grande Southern railroad.
Join Colorado Railroad Museum Executive Director Paul Hammond as we take a look at the history of this Colorado classic, and how it was remodeled and renamed over the years, and eventually relocated to Golden.
In 2021 the Museum is operating socially distanced train rides each Saturday! Follow us on Pinterest, Facebook, KZbin, Instagram and Twitter.

There's not a lot in the USA, especially here in the western US, which dates back 140 years. And of those only a very few are still in service (some old homes and missions, but they're not generally still in active use).

Another great video! Thanks so much for doing these. I first visited the Museum as a Cub Scout in March of 1959. Living in Omaha, I don't get a chance to visit very often. Again, I really appreciate all of your postings.

Amazing story. Thanks for all your hard work. Did the Rico ever ran together with the RGS EDNA at Knotts Berry Farm in California?

A good question for Jeff Taylor....I'll pass it on....
