I wonder if the ride was down the day this photo was taken...Rainbow Ridge looks more like a ghost town than a bustling little mining town.

Mine Train & Rainbow Ridge
It's a quickie post today folks...a nice shot of a pre-1960 Mine Train with its classic dark-green paint job. Notice that it says "RMRR" (Rainbow Mountain Railroad). In 1960 the trains were painted yellow, and the lettering was changed to "NWRR" (Nature's Wonderland Railroad).

The tender car is also lettered for Rainbow Mine Railroad. Very nice early image.
