The Prospector is our professionally produced quarterly magazine showcasing original research, historic images, and expert writing on the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad.

Volume 1, published in 2002, marks the inaugural year of the magazine and established the foundation for the depth and quality that define The Prospector today. These first four issues feature early archival photo studies, foundational research articles, and the initial development of the magazine’s long‑form historical style.

Individual issues and the complete four‑issue set are available below.
