Summary[edit]

Description Postcard photo of an eating stop in Utah on the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. From the description on the card's back--"just east of Castle Gate"-this appears to be the small town of Helper, Utah, which was where the eastern and western portions of the railroad met. This was also where trains took on additional "helper" locomotives to make the climb through the mountains. The town was named for the extra locomotives, or "helpers".
Date Someone dated this as 1911. From the Velox stamp box design, it dates circa 1907-1914, so this appears to be correct.
