It's Steamy Sunday here on the blog! Today's steam locomotive is Denver & Rio Grande Western #318. It is a C-18 locomotive with a 2-8-0 wheel arrangement also known as a Consolidation. It was built by Baldwin in 1896 and it began it's life on the Florence & Cripple Creek Railway. The Rio Grande bought it in 1917 where it ran out of Salida, Durango and Montrose Colorado.
Nice old street car in behind.
ReplyDeleteNice looking locomotive. DIsplaying it outside must a lot of TLC
It is. I couldn't find any info on it though. Yes, at least have to paint fairly regularly. They have a nice diesel set that we just missed getting a new paint job. When we were there we remarked to each other that they were getting pretty shabby looking.
