Three local entities pulled their resources to mount five murals depicting the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad Locomotive No. 315 at the Durango Public Library, said George Niederauer of the Durango Railroad Historical Society. From left, Niederauer, Hal Simpson of the library and Dave Taylor of Elegant Images Photography prepare to hang a 7-by-10-foot mural Tuesday afternoon. Niederauer said library director Andy White had the idea of train murals in the children’s library, and the historical society selected images of Locomotive No. 315, which they restored themselves.
