It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! Today's image comes from the Colorado Railroad Museum near Golden once again. It's a great place to visit and the museum is housed in this beautiful depot. It is a 2-8-0 wheel arrangement, also known as a Consolidation. It was built in 1898 by Brooks Locomotive Works and had a long and varied career and was retired in 1953. It was purchased then by the city of Boulder and put on display. It stayed there for about 50 years and then was loaned and moved to the museum. You can ring the bell of this locomotive.
