Description

Photo of a Denver and Rio Grande Western freight train under a storm-darkened sky. The photo was taken near Minturn, Colorado. Pery's notes indicate that locomotive #3610 was leading this train. The photo was taken by noted railroad photographer en:Otto Perry. Perry earned his living as a mailman in Denver; photographing trains was a hobby he pursued for many years. Perry was also known to travel outside of the Denver area to photograph trains.

Like many other railfans who take photos, Perry had prints made up as postcards and used a ink stamp to identify their work as these photos were shared with others who also had a hobby of photographing trains.

Perry died in 1970, leaving his collection of train photos and negatives to the Denver Public Library.
Date September 11, 1949 The EKC in the stamp box also dates this circa 1940-1950.
