The locomotive on the front of this post card is still around. The Great Western Railroad #75 is a 2-8-0 Consolidation type steam locomotive built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in September 1907 (serial number 31778) to haul sugar beets and freight on the Great Western Railroad Company of Colorado. It was later retired from revenue service in 1965 and was sold to the Inner-mountain Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, then to Colorado native, Everett Rohrer, who founded the GW 75 corporation with intentions to preserve railroad equipment for movie making purposes. In 1975, it starred in the film "Breakheart Pass" as Wyoming & Northern Railroad #9. After Rohrer's death in 1998, #75 was put up for sale. In 1999, #75 was sold to the Heber Valley Railroad, where it was restored for operation, and took part in the 2002 Olympics by carrying the Olympic Torch from Heber City to Soldier Hollow. At the end of the 2002 season, #75 was taken out for a major overhaul. The Great Western Railroad was incorporated October 16, 1901, by the Great Western Sugar Company and started operations a short time later. Passenger service ended in 1927. The company was acquired from Great Western Sugar by the Castle Corporation (BROE Corporation) in June 1986. It is now owned by OmniTRAX of Denver. It is a common carrier hauling a variety of products. In some respects, they are a bridge carrier connecting to the BNSF and the Union Pacific.

The post card was published by www.railcards.com in Alameda, California (east across the Bay from San Francisco next to Oakland). Even though I have 204 post cards from this publisher, I know nothing about them. When I type the address into my browser it takes me to several related and possible links, because what I am looking for does not exist. I love his sense of humour as expressed in the titles; I hope he did well while the company existed.
