Title:  DRGW 4-8-4 #1703 & DRGW 2-8-0 #1029
Description:  Sharp looking 1929 Baldwin 4-8-4 that the D&RGW labeled a "Western" instead of the more traditional label "Northern".

To the left rear is DRGW 2-8-0 1029 built by Burnham, Wms & Co in 1902, a "small fry" when next to the massive 4-8-4 sister!
