The Silver Bronco (ex-D&RGW 1105, ANSCO 1105) is currently stored at the old D&RGW Burnham yard in Denver, where the DRGW used to store their passenger equipment (the Ski Train still parks there during off-season), plus anything that was deadlined (UP refers to it as Denver Diesel now).


Jim Griffin took this picture in 1984, and writes, "My wife & I rode on the Silver Bronco on our honeymoon, in August 1982 (the RGZ by then, obviously). It was running as the first dome, and we had the front right seats, so we had a great view. You get a whole new perspective on Moffat when you can actually see ahead of the train. Sure miss the domes..."
