Ascending and descending the pass required numerous tunnels, trestles, 180-degree curves, and at least one location where the railroad looped over itself, as shown in the postcard below. This was known as Rifle Sight Notch, and the trestle still exists, though the tunnel has been filled for safety reasons.

After the Denver & Rio Grande Western took over the Denver & Salt Lake and built the Dotsero Cutoff, passengers could travel from Denver to Salt Lake through the Moffat Tunnel and Glenwood Canyon. The above postcard was issued by the Rio Grande to show Glenwood Canyon and trumpet the railway’s slogan, “Through the Rockies, not around them.” The number code on the lower left of the front of the card dates it to 1937.

Also issued by the railway, this imaginatively colorized photo shows a passenger train on the Colorado River. I’m not sure of the exact location, but I believe this is in or near Glenwood Canyon. The date code on the front of the card indicates it was issued in 1943.
