RIRTH]PLACE OF VISTA DOMES It was while riding through Glen- wood Canyon in the cab of a Rio Grande diesel that a General Motors vice president, C. R. Osborn, got the idea for a vista dome. He realized how much the passengers would like the view he had from the cab and proceeded to do something about it. Midway through the can- yon a monument was seen on the other side of the narrow Colorado river erected near the spot where Mr. Osborn had the idea. It con- tains a replica of a vista dome carl on top of an archway/. A highway follows the other side of the riveri through the canyon and the monu-I lent has been built along the high- I way. I At Dotsero the Moffat tunnel line] leaves the Royal Gorge line. TheI name comes for the initial point on the record of a survey in 1885i ".O" (dot zero). The 40 mile line from Dotsero to Orestod, (Dotsero spelled back- wards), was built in 1934 to connect the Moffat line with the D. and R.G after the Moffat tunnel was built. It passes through Red Canyon between these points. Until the Moffat tunnel was built in 1928 the Rio Grande trains had to cross the Rockies at 11,666 feet by way of Corona Pass, which was closed during the winter and was a costly and slow operation at any time. Trains such as the Cal. Zeph. weren't even thought of then. After the 6.2 mile tunnel was opened and the Dotsero cut-off built, Denver was on a trans-continental railroad. We left the dome while traveling through some of the broad valleys enroute to the tunnel and came back again to watch for the tunnel as the train approached the snow covered peaks. Finally the west portal came into view.
