Title	Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad Boom Car RGX-3337
Creator(s)	History Colorado. Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation.
Summary	Photograph of the interior of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad Boom Car RGX-3337 with its cable and hooking system. The car functioned with D&RGW Derrick No. 27 from circa 1957 until 1997. The D&RGW's Salt Lake City car shops refitted the elegant business car to perform maintenance-of-way functions. The reuse of retired rolling stock, modified to meet non-revenue needs, typifies a pattern of business operation found on the D&RGW and other railroads across the nation.
