It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! Today's image is of Number 20. Number 20 has been very visible lately on YouTube because it has been out running special excursions at the Durango & Silverton. It's a 4-6-0 Ten Wheeler that was built in 1899 for the Schenectady Locomotive Works. It started life on the Florence and Cripple Creek RR like the one I shared last week. It moved to the Rio Grande Southern in 1915 and was used until 1951. The Rocky Mountain Railroad Club purchased it and then later was displayed at the CO RR Museum. It underwent a 14 year restoration 2006 to 2020 and now operates excursions at the museum. It will be returning to the museum sometime soon if it is not back already by the time this posts.
