Description: RailroadTreasures offers the following item: Postcard Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad Office Car #100 #102 D&RGW App 6X9 Postcard The Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad Approx 8x 5inches Copyright 1971 Of the four standard-gauge Office Cars in service on the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad in 1956, including Cars 102 and 100 shown in this photograph made at Grand Junction, Colorado, during a tour of inspection in September of that year, only Car No. 100 now remains on the railroad. This noteworthy creation is a product of the skills of the Company's workmen at its Burnham shops in Denver, having been built originally by Pullman in March, 1950, as Coach #1240 part of the order for modern, stainless-steel, air-conditioned, streamlined passenger equipment to be assigned to the name trains Royal Gorge and Prospector. Turned out of the railroad's shops in July, 1951, with efficient kitchen and food serving facilities, tastefully decorated dining room, two state rooms, an austere compartment for a secretary, large comfortable observation room, and a decorative open platform on the rear, Office Car 100 was assigned for use by the road's senior executives. In March, 1956, it was given the name Wilson McCarthy, in tribute to the memory of the late Trustee and President after his death. Car 102, coupled in ahead of the Wilson McCarthy for this inspection trip, was likewise a product of Burnham shops, having been rebuilt in March, 1930, from a twenty-year-old, all-steel coach. Retired by the railroad in December, 1964, it was in the hands of a private owner in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1971. All pictures are of the actual item.
