From the back of the card:

"...This picture, photographed on January 6, 1952, shows the combined consist from Montrose and Craig passing through Rocky, near the end of its journey to Denver...

The locomotive on this occasion is a cab-booster combination of ALCO PA-model diesel-electric units numbered 6003, 6002. They had been delivered in 1947 (construction numbers 74685, 74702) as part of a 3-unit locomotive number 600 which had been ordered for service on the California Zephyr, together with its companion the 601. In 1950 the individual units of the all multiple-unit diesel-electric locomotives on the Rio Grande were given 4-digit numbers by adding a suffic digit to the set number. The units of the 600, thus, became 6001, 6002, 6003, and the untis were seperated for use on other trains...

The Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad"

The post card was published by Vanishing Vistas of Sacramento, CA in 1974. The photo is by Richard H. Kindig, the text is by Robert A. Le Massena.
