Hi all,

Merry Christmas Fritz and all the board readers that come.

Charles, that is a great challenge! I am not sure even being in the cab and following the lines would we know what they all did. I think that died with the last engineer who ran these engines.

Tom C.

Tony, That firebox is IMMENSE! It makes a very great exhibit doesnt it. I really liked the wheels turning and the video that played with it.

Tom C.

i believe early on they had a spur but the bridge over a canal or something was removed and that land locked it. So maybe the Q engine was placed early enough it wasnt that bad.

Tom C.

John, I am not sure but they have a Q northern but it use to be on the other side of the grounds. Maybe they moved it.

Here are a bunch from Kevin Madore that he took of the special they ran.

For those that like 2ft steam, the Railroad ran a charter a few weeks back and this is one man's view of the day .

Plus, if 261 goes oil, no overnight hostler is needed as you turn off the fire and go home!

Rio Grande Southern is having its debut on Aug 1 & 2 at Golden Co. I almost went but went to Michigan instead. The Cumbres & Toltec is running steam out of Antonito Colorado 6 days a week. The Durango & Silverton is running one steam engine from Rockwood to Cascade Canyon and return 3 or...

I went there in 2007 and enjoyed the place. I thought they had good displays and it was neat to see the turntable move and go into the roundhouse. If I was out that way i would stop again.

Tom C.

I sure would like to go see it!

Tom C,

Yes it is because of Covid-19 there will be no steam at all on the UP this year.
