It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! Today's image is from the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden. This is the first Cog Railway locomotive that was used at Pikes Peak. It was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1890 and made it's first trip to the summit in 1891. It was retired in 1941 and put on display at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. The CRRM acquired it in 1979.
INteresting looking compact little engine. Reminds me of the "I think I can.." story kids read
