Purple
Fast Eddie from the North Side has a new moll. Bubbles used to be a dancer, but now she's giving it up because her man needs a full-time beneficiary...
Shadow
The shadows by the depot get longer as we near the train's 7:00 pm departure time.
Blue Eyes
Big Jule from the West Side was always a sucker for a great set of peepers.
The Cast
We're standing on the observation car as the RGRR departs Canyon City. L to R: Mike Stevens, Star Edgington, Liz Duckworth, JaNae Stansberry, and Ken Markus. Don Moon took the photo.
Waltz Time
Why do we have so many pictures of Hanging Bridge? Because the train always stops there so passengers can admire the Royal Gorge Bridge 1000 feet above.
Here Ken, a member of the Victorian Dance Society, and JaNae, a choreographer, trip a light fantastic step while Barry plays the accordian.
An Actor Prepares
Two of our actresses await their cue to go on in the dining car.

Negotiation

You?!
The Mountain Man meets his Mail Order Bride.
Well, you don't look as bad as you smell...
It turns out the Mountain Man has certain redeeming qualities after all.
You're gonna take what I give ya and you're gonna like it! Comprende?
Railroad detective Britt Dawson negotiates wages with Wes Caitlin.
Well, folks, don't they make just about the perfect couple?
Britt Dawson introduces the newly intended.
How 'bout a little kiss to tide me over 'til I get back?
Britt Dawson romances Mary Kate McCleod.
Hitting Her Mark
The Activities Director's daughter, Juliana, was watching our rehearsal with wide eyes, so we invited her to have a part in the play. Then her eyes got even wider.
We told her that she'd have to "hit her mark", which is actor talk for being in the right place at the right time. This photo shows she did it perfectly.
Hold on Cole! You can start a fight in here! Pore lil' Juliana might get hurt.
Slimy Britt Dawson uses an innocent bystander for a shield.
Publicity Still
We took this photo so that, when Juliana becomes a famous actress, we can prove we knew her when...

Schmooze
We greet the passengers before they board.
Green Room
Nobody knows where the term "green room" came from (though there are many theories), but it means anywhere the actors wait to go on, nibble on munchies, and pile all their bags. This one is in the lower part of the dome car.
Mist
Rain makes a distant haze over the mountains.
Bad weather is always the best time to take photographs in the Gorge.
