Rio Grande, Alberta
Rio Grande is an unincorporated community in northern Alberta within the County of Grande Prairie No. 1, located southwest of Highway 43, west of Grande Prairie.
Rio Grande is a farming community established in the Redwillow River valley, in the Pouce Coupe Prairie of southern Peace River Country.
The locality of Rio Grande, approximately 55 km west of Grande Prairie, saw European settlers by 1915, but was also the site of a Metis community before that time.
The name was suggested by settlers Min and Clay Stumpt after they spent the winter near the Rio Grande River on the United States- Mexico border, perhaps referring to the Red Willow River and the “ grande prairie ” nearby.
Public events and buildings followed one another in quick succession: the first Rio Grande Rodeo in 1916, a Catholic Mission in 1917, Rio Grande School District in 1918, and the post office in 1919.
In the late 1920s, the Rio Grande Rodeo received a permanent location on the south banks of the Rio Grande River, and on the north side of the river, on the SE quarter of section 35, township 70, range 12, west of the 6th meridian, a hall was added north of a large new church and rectory.
A new store and post office was built across the road from the hall.
This formed the neucleus of the community for many years until the store was destroyed by fire in 1955.
The school closed in 1944 and the post office in 1957, but the Rio Grande Rodeo, the church and the hall still mark the locality of Rio Grande.
Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad
The Denver& Rio Grande Western Railroad, often shortened to" Rio Grande", D&RG or D&RGW, formerly the Denver& Rio Grande Railroad, was an American Class I railroad company.
The railroad started as a narrow- gauge line running south from Denver, Colorado in 1870.
It served mainly as a transcontinental bridge line between Denver, and Salt Lake City, Utah.
The Rio Grande was also a major origin of coal and mineral traffic.
The Rio Grande was the epitome of mountain railroading, with a motto of" Through the Rockies, not around them" and later" Main line through the Rockies", both referring to the Rocky Mountains.
The D&RGW operated the highest mainline rail line in the United States, over the Tennessee Pass in Colorado, and the famed routes through the Moffat Tunnel and the Royal Gorge.
At its height in the mid-1880s, the D&RG had the largest narrow- gauge railroad network in North America with of track interconnecting the states of Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah.
Known for its independence, the D&RGW operated the" Rio Grande Zephyr" until its discontinuation in 1983.
This was the last private intercity passenger train in the United States until Brightline( now Virgin Trains USA) began service in Florida in 2018.
In 1988, the Rio Grande's parent corporation, Rio Grande Industries, purchased Southern Pacific Transportation Company, and as the result of a merger, the larger Southern Pacific Railroad name was chosen for identity.
The Rio Grande operated as a separate division of the Southern Pacific, until that company was acquired by the Union Pacific Railroad.
Today, most former D&RGW main lines are owned and operated by the Union Pacific while several branch lines are now operated as heritage railways by various companies.
