Summary[edit]

Description

Photo of Denver and Rio Grande's locomotives #490 and #494 (both 2-8-2 locomotives) near Coxo, Colorado in 1952. This was the railroad's narrow gauge division. 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.

  • Since there is a copy of the photo at Denver Public Library, I have archived the auction and the card to prove this did not come from the DPL. DPL has only been able to sell prints of Perry's work since his death in 1970.


  • The card has no copyright markings on it as can be seen in the links above.
  • United States Copyright Office page 2 "Visually Perceptible Copies The notice for visually perceptible copies should contain all three elements described below. They should appear together or in close proximity on the copies.
