The Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad was alive and strong enough to be memorialized in this stained glass window of its Grand Junction station, and still surviving its owner in 2010 Photo: Mikoyan |

POTD - Grand Junction Station Stained Glass Window
Sometimes, it just takes an attentive eye to catch the unusual or interesting in a photo. Blogger-photographer Mikoyan captured such a detail at Grand Junction, Colorado, during a scheduled stop aboard Amtrak's California Zephyr. The former owner of the station was plainly evident in the second story window. I wonder if anyone has the name of the artist who crafted the window? The logo it models is my favorite railroad herald of all time. "Rio Grande - Main Line Thru the Rockies" says it all!
