Denver & Rio Grande Western
Early PROSPECTOR
(Modified Heavyweight Cars)

In 1946, the Rio Grande instituted the "Prospector", an overnight train between Denver and Salt Lake City. The creation of Trustee and President Wilson McCarthy, it proved that good things could come in small packages and the the "Grande" was perfectly capable of serving businessmen!  The Prospector was often led by the D&RGW's FT sets equipped with B-unit boilers.  The cars originally modified for Exposition Flyer service were re-painted in the black and gold of the diesel cab sets.  In later years, the Prospector was pulled by aspen gold and silver F3 sets.

Our offering will be done in the following sets, with a few individual cars available to beef up the consist!  They'll go fast, so contact your Division Point dealer ASAP!
