September 1940. "Station of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad at Ouray, Colorado. This narrow-gauge line formerly had passenger service but now is confined to freight service." Acetate negative by Russell Lee. View full size.
This was one of the greatest sources of inspiration for many model railroads. Probably the most famous was John Allen's "Gorre & Daphetid" in Monterey, California. Worth looking up for the incredible detail and landscape scale it depicted. Sadly, the entire structure burned down just days after John died of a heart attack in 1973.
The logo & the Royal Gorge itself.
I looked up "chamfered roof peaks" and found reference to a "jerkinhead roof".
Reminds me of the Dutch bonnet or cap seen in vintage costumes. Is there a name for this style of architecture?
