D&RG Class 70

The twelve 2-8-0 Class 70 locomotives that were delivered to the D&RG in 1881 arrived over the course of five months. In May, D&RG 402, the “Shoshone” was delivered with two others of the same class. The 402 was among five of the 1881 consolidations that were rebuilt for standard gauge switcher use just a few years after they arrived. In 1888, the old Shoshone became standard gauge Class 74 #800. Twelve years later, the 800 was again rebuilt and placed into service on narrow gauge rails. Emerging from the shops this time as D&RG #401, the diamond stack kettle would soon be equipped with automatic couplers and the latest innovations in Westinghouse airbrake equipment. By the mid 1910s, many of the old nineteenth century locomotives were being re-fitted with steel boilers following new government safety guidelines. The 401 emerged from the shop around January of 1914 with an extended smokebox, shotgun stack, and most likely a change in the air-compressor mounting and accompanying piping arrangement. By June of 1915, the 401 was fitted with a dynamo and electric headlight. In the midst of all the revisions to the old locomotive, she would still retain the nineteenth century Baldwin cast smokebox front for a few more years. The ICC Steam Locomotive Valuations of 1919 show the 401 fitted with a single 9 ½” air compressor. In 1924, the 401 was re-numbered 341 and two 9½ inch compressors eventually replaced the single 11-inch version hanging on her left side since the early 20s. The 341 would finish its working years in this general configuration and was scrapped in January of 1939.

Black Hills Central No. 7

Black Hills Central No. 7 is a "Prairie" 2-6-2 steam locomotive built in 1919 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Ozan-Graysonia Lumber Co. as #2.

In 1938, it served on the Prescott & Northwestern, an Arkansas short line, before moving to Hill City, South Dakota for tourist service in 1962.

It was sold to the Black Hills Central railroad in 1961, where it pulled a standard gauge tourist train from Keystone to Oblivion, where it met the narrow gauge train. When that became too expensive to operate, #7 pulled the train the entire distance between Hill City and Keystone.

Today the locomotive is still at the Black Hills Central railroad but as of 2020, its a static display.
Wp&yr 69

In June 1908 the Baldwin Locomotive Works Co. of Philadelphia, delivered the second of two specially designed narrow gauge steam locomotives that had been ordered by the WP&YR. Designated as Engine No. 69, this mechanical workhorse would spend the next 46 years far puffing across rugged Alaskan and Canadian mountain ranges that had been conquered by the WP&YR.

The first locomotives used by the WP&YR were small tea kettles acquired secondhand. Traffic demands by 1900 prompted the company to order several brand new locomotives built to its specifications. WP&YR officials recognized a need for additional motive power that would primarily be used to help pull or push freight and passenger trains over the steep grades encountered between Skagway and the summit over White Pass, where the track level rises more than two feet in every 100 feet of distance.

At the time of completion Engine 69, at 134,369 pounds, was one of the heaviest narrow gauge, outside-frame locomotives built by Baldwin. It was capable of tackling grades of 3.9 percent and curves and radiuses of up to 20 degrees. The tractive power of 69 was equivalent to that of many standard-gauge engines and it was well-suited to running over rails weighing 56 pounds per yard.

In the course of its now-100-year history, the venerable Baldwin 2-8-0 has served in two countries, has transported thousands for either fun or profit. Now once again shall Engine No. 69 sound its whistle across majestic mountains of Alaska & the Yukon.
D&RG Car 118

Jackson and Sharp, a major passenger car builder of the era, built the second 118 in 1882 for the D&RG as Business Car C for $5,000. It appears as if the car was a one of a kind on the D&RG. It was described as a commissary-kitchen car with sleeping accommodations for six. Business Car A was built in 1881 and was a sleeping and observation car, while Business Car B was built in 1882 and was indentified as a kitchen-dining-sleeping car.

A consist of these three business cars were put together in 1882 for D&RG General Manager David C. Dodge in this order C, B, A with A at the end of the train and C closest to the tender.

A 1905 report has Business Car C's length as 35' 10 1/2."

In May of 1906 Business Car C was re-built into a mail and baggage car at an estimated cost of $1,887.00. At that point it became the second D&RG 118, which the railroad was able to do since the original 118 had disappeared from the D&RG roster as of December 31, 1888.

In 1920 it was reported 118 was 36' in length; the mail compartment was 20' in length, and the car now weighed 32,300 pounds. I am guessing that the length was merely someone rounding up to 36'. I am looking forward to "throwing" a measuring tape on the car.

In 1924 the entire car was lowered because the railroad changed the wheel size on the wheel sets. The plans show the originals as 30". At the same time the under frame was re-enforced and extension side bearings were installed.

In June of 1926 118 was converted to a Bridge and Building Bunk Car at Alamosa and re-numbered 0118 indicating that it was no longer a revenue car. This was a common practice of the railroad to convert some cars near the end of their life cycle to maintenance way equipment.

A Jackson Thode April 29, 1954 photo of 0118 at Salida shows it boarded up with the lettering "Foreman & Office."

In 1955 the car was retired at Salida and according to one source "dismantled."

What Bill has located includes a photo of Business Car C ca.1890, the Thode photo from 1954, and a plan of Business Car C from the D&RGW Archives.
The Shaoyi Genocide

**Trigger warning, violence and rape**

Victoria is a well-known geopolitical player on Luna, but Shaoyi is a forgotten stain on the nation's storied history. Shaoyi was a small Chinese colony on the island of Victoria. It was rather close to the Republic of Victoria and was seen as a hindrance to the latter's ambitions.

In 1967, the fledging state lost all backing from its Terran Allies following an escalation of the ongoing Chinese Civil War. The many warlords and two major states, too busy with their own problems to focus on a forgotten and increasingly expensive ambition.

Seeing a rare opportunity, the Victorians took advantage, as Shaoyi's presence was in its sphere of influence. 11 years, 3 wars, and 5 border disputes later a tense relationship had turned to idealistic and racist hatred. A final conflict in 1978 would spell the end for the state of Shaoyi. Years of war had reduced Shaoyi to a fragment of former self, while the Victorian military had grown into a racist and nationalist army hellbent on the annihilation of the people and state of Shaoyi.

During a siege of the capital, the troops went on a rampage backed by idealistic, racist, and religious (some accounts state) fervor. Of the remaining population, 80% would be massacred, slaughtered, and raped. As for the surviving victims most that could not flee were subject to mass rapes and burnings, the city itself was pillaged and razed to the ground.

Contemporary historians cite this as the first case of genocide on the moon otherwise known as the First Lunar Genocide, Shaoyi Genocide, or Rape of Shaoyi. Still today both the British and Victorian governments refuse to acknowledge the Rape of Shaoyi. Recently many authors have become famous for their descriptions, accounts from descendants, and translations of texts found 200 years later.
Black Hills Central No. 110

It was built by Baldwin in 1928 for the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company to work on its Vail, WA, line. It was the first of Weyerhaeuser's many logging mallets, and one of a total of thirty logging mallets built by Baldwin between 1910 and 1937.

After over twenty-five years working at Vail, #115was sold to the Rayonier Lumber Company in 1954 where it operated on the Grays Harbor line until 1966 then later during that time, it was fitted with a tender from Rayonier 2-8-2 #101.

Rayonier retired the 115 in 1968 and it was sold to the Promontory Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. In 1971, the locomotive was transferred to the Wasatch Railroad Museum and placed on display at Heber City, UT. Then, in 1993, it was sold to the Nevada State Railway Museum and was placed in storage at Boulder City, NV.

In 1999, it was sold to the Black Hills Central and trucked from Nevada to South Dakota on four semi-trailers. Work then began to restore the mallet to operating condition.
Durango Silverton 473

The 473 was one of ten K-28 locomotives built by the American Locomotive Works in Schenectady, New York in 1923 for the narrow gauge D&RGW. All ten engines which were called the Sport Models, were sold to the Rio Grande Railroad. The 473 worked the narrow gauge rails in Colorado and New Mexico with her sisters 470 through 479. The 473 spent a lot of time on the Silverton line, also working Durango to Alamosa and the Chili line, which ran from Antonito, Colorado to Santa Fe, New Mexico. The 473’s life changed forever in 1941 when the United States was attacked at Pearl Harbor. The U.S. feared a Japanese invasion through Alaska, across the Bering Strait. The U.S. wanted to build a narrow gauge railroad in Alaska to move troops and supplies into that remote area to defend Canada and the U.S.

Seven of her nine K-28s sisters were taken to Alaska, along with other narrow gauge rolling stock and locomotives, including 470, 471, 472, 474, 475, 477, and 479. After World War II, these seven Rio Grande locomotives were brought back to Seattle, Washington where they met the scrapping torch.

The 473 was delivered from the American Locomotive Company in August 1923 with a medium green boiler jacket, cylinder covers and headlight. She had silver striping and 12” lettering (currently 16” lettering). The cab, dome, frame, and plumbing were black, as was the tender.
Polson Logging No. 70

Polson Logging No. 70 is a 2-8-2 "Mikado" type steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1922 for the Polson Logging in Hoquiam, WA. The locomotive spent years working on the Polson Logging railroad hauling log trains.

It was later purchased by Rayonier Corp. in 1945. It was later retired from service in 1962 when Rayonier purchased two Baldwin diesels to replace their steam locomotives. It is now operational on the Mount Rainier Scenic Railroad.

Death valley railroad Brill car number 5

Built in 1927, this is the only restored narrow gauge Brill car in North America. Fully restored in 2004, visitors can take rides on the motor car during the Summer months, on select weekends.

The DVRR had her built in 1927 as the Pacific Coast Borax operations were relocating to the Boron site and an attempt was made to promote tourism to the Ryan mining camp. That venture didn't draw enough business to make it worthwhile, so the line was abandoned in 1930, and most of the Death Valley Railroad equipment was purchased by U.S. Potash Company and moved to its mill at Carlsbad, New Mexico, in the early 1930's. The motor car was used to transport mill workers to the job site, and it operated in New Mexico far longer than in had on the Death Valley Railroad, not being retired until after 25 years of service in 1956. The car sat abandoned in New Mexico until its eventual donation to the Laws Railroad Museum, along with other pieces from the U.S. Potash operation. It arrived in Laws on November 27, 1967. At the time it was in less than pristine condition after years of hard service.
The Seemingly Nameless

***"I am nameless...perhaps? i dont know, i have nothing to lose, i have nothing to gain, i have nothing, i have no desire. i am the nameless one. the supreme over all. Except for the being who contains us. Who seemingly passive, yet so active, the narrator. Think about anything. I can defeat it with an ease. Except him, i can beat everything........for i am.....the supreme.......but still....The narrator.....you....beyond me...beyond anything....existing and not existing.......nothingness...or.....somethingness........a being with such a feat....is impossible....yet he is already beyond impossible.....haaha"***

The Seemingly Nameless is a being who, beyond every character imagined, every character that think that they could end him, will automatically destroyed and obliterated, beyond their conciousness can think, or beyond conciousness. He is the supreme, the one who is so supreme, it cannot be classified to a place. Only one being that he submit to(it means that it is beyond his comprehension at any type, even never see, but can feel it), who is The Narrator. Yet, everything that claim to be more than The Narrator, is ended by him(out of play things). Because everything is in the influence of narrator, in the narrative of the narrator.

The Seemingly Nameless cannot be defeated, whatever the scale it is. Whatever the power level, distance, anything. He cannot be defeated. Only one being, that he submit to, who is the narrator. After the narrator, nothing, nothing else. He is beyond the beyond of beyonds...till infinites of infinites times of beond, even infinitely by infinites by infintes by infinites by infinites......of nothingness, yet he is still nothing infront of the narrator. So he submit only to the narrator, and can lose to narrator, nothing else besides the narrator. You can thnk about anything to defeat the narrator, but the seemingly nameless will destroy it without a doubt. He is not classified by power. He is not bound by power. Only The narrator is the bound to him. But yet...nobody realised about the narrator.....

***"No one, not even me, can comprehend even the slightest bit of his presence, even nothingness of his presence.....is unknown.....and can oblirate me in beyond nothingness, beyond quick, beyond instantly,somehow i realised about him.......who is he?, why do i....dont know? and know?"***

- The Seemingly Nameless talk about the narrator

***"You talk about the pyramid?, no, the pyramid has no end, yes, even true infinity or beyond. But still, infront of him, it is nothing, it is inside of him. Even beyond nothingness to him. The only scale of the narrator, is the narrator himself, and it isn't, at the same time"***

White Pass & Yukon No. 190

**White Pass & Yukon Railway No. 190** is a class S118 2-8-2 Mikado type steam locomotive built in February of 1943 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the United States Army Transportation Corps. The locomotive was designed to haul passenger and freight trains on the US Army Transportation Corps' White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad, as well as helping to build the Alaskan (ALCAN) Highway. After the war, the locomotive and a few other engines of its class, 191-197, were sold to the WP&YR. while 198-200 were all sold to the Casa Grande-Sausal Railway in Peru. Sadly, 191, 193, 194, and 197 did not last too long in revenue service, as they were scrapped by 1951. During 190's last few years in service on the White Pass, the locomotive was put on snow plow duty until its retirement.

In 1960 it was retired from 17 years of revenue service. It was then bought by Grover Robbins Jr. (The founder and owner of Tweetsie Railroad), when the need for a second locomotive at the park became clear. She was restored to operating condition by Tweetsie Railroad and it was nicknamed the "Yukon Queen". One year later, Robbins also purchased sister locomotive 192 for his second theme park, Rebel Railroad, which is today modern day Dollywood.
E.B.T M-1 Doodlebug (rail car)

The development of gasoline engines led railroads to seek it as a higher efficiency alternative to steam power for low-volume branch line services at the start of the 20th century. The McKeen railmotor was a line of self-propelled gasoline-driven railcars produced between 1905 and 1917. The 200 HP motor on the 55-foot long or 70-foot long units drove only one set of wheels, and the lack of power and traction, the unreliability of their transmissions, and an inability to reverse, were major limitations. General Electric (“GE”) was the pioneer of gas-electric railcars: GE in February, 1906 rebuilt a wood passenger coach into a gas-electric unit which was placed in trial service on the Delaware and Hudson Railroad. The St. Louis–San Francisco Railway was an early adopter of this technology, placing an initial order for ten gas-electric units in 1910 and seven additional by 1913, giving it the distinction of having the largest fleet of gas-electric motor cars in the country. The petroleum-electric drive control system invented in 1914 by Hermann Lemp, an engineer with GE, became the technological foundation of self-propelled gasoline railcars in the 1920s.

In 1923 the Electro-Motive Company began production of self-propelled railcars, subcontracting bodies to the St. Louis Car Company, prime movers to the Winton Engine Company, and electrical equipment to General Electric. The Pullman Company was subsequently added as a subcontractor for car bodies.

Improvements to railcars were sought by The Pullman Company, who experimented with lightweight designs in partnership with the Ford Motor Company in 1925, then enlisted the services of pioneering all-metal aircraft designer William Bushnell Stout in 1931 to adapt airplane fuselage design concepts to railcars. In 1931 the Budd Company entered a partnership with the French tire company Michelin to produce lightweight stainless steel Budd-Michelin railcars in the US. Those advances in lightweight railcar design were an important step in the development of the lightweight diesel-electric streamliners of the 1930s.
D&RGW 463

Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad (Denver and Rio Grande Western) No. 463 is a 3-foot narrow-gauge class "K-27" 2-8-2 "Mikado" type steam railway locomotive built for the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad (D&RG) by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1903. It is one of two remaining locomotives of D&RGW class K-27, the other one being No. 464 at the Huckleberry Railroad in Genesee Township, Michigan. The class eventually became known by the nickname "Mudhens". Today, No. 463 is operational on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad between Chama, New Mexico and Antonito, Colorado.

Fifteen locomotives were built, originally class 125, then reclassified K-27 in 1924 when the D&RG became the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&RGW). The K-27s were built as Vauclain compounds, with two cylinders on each side, expanding the steam once in the smaller cylinder and then a second time in the larger one. The extra maintenance costs of the two cylinders were greater than the fuel saving, so they were converted to simple expansion in 1907–1909. They were Rio Grande's last purchase of compound locomotives. They pulled freight, passenger and mixed trains on the D&RGW in and over the Colorado Rocky Mountains, traversing the entire length of the railroad. They were built with their main structural frames outside the driving wheels, with the counterweights and rods attached outside the frames.

No. 463 was sold to cowboy actor and singer Gene Autry in May 1955. Autry never used the engine and donated it to the town of Antonito, Colorado. It was restored by and entered into service on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad in 1994. It was taken out of service with a broken side rod in 2002. In 2009, it was moved to the railroad's shop at Chama, New Mexico where a major rebuild was taken until completion in Spring 2013. On May 20, 2013, the restored locomotive made its inaugural run on the C&TSRR. No. 463 was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 as Engine No. 463.

**Film Credits**

The D&RGW engine No. 463 appeared in season 1, episode 38 of Gunsmoke on August 18, 1956 as Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway No. 463. The episode was entitled "Unmarked Grave". It also appeared at the beginning of an episode of Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theater which originally aired on December 7, 1956. Season 1, Episode 10 was titled "Return to Nowhere". In 2014, Engine 463 made a small appearance as D&RGW No. 463 in the movie A Million Ways to Die in the West. It also appeared in the 2018 movie *Hostiles*. It also appeared in The March 14, 1959 episode of "Wanted Dead or Alive" called "Railroaded". The engine was not credited.
RGS 41

RGS C-19 #41 has long held honor as one of the more photographed and cherished pieces of motive power of the old road. In 1881, D&RG 409 arrived on the Colorado narrow gauge scene among an order of twelve new Class 70 consolidations bound to climb the steep grades of the fledgling Denver and Rio Grande Railway. From what is known, the 409 was photographed but a few times in its Diamond Stack configuration. The 409 was sold to the Rio Grande Southern in 1916, and most likely received a new steel boiler around the same time period. After serving for just over a year with her new owner, the 409 was finally repainted for the RGS and re-numbered 41 following a shopping in February of 1918. While serving the Southern faithfully for nearly 35 years, the 41 underwent a few cosmetic changes as the eras passed.
East Broad Top Railroad No. 15

East Broad Top Railroad is a 2-8-2 Mikado type steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1914 for the East Broad Top Railroad & Coal Co. as #15. It was acquired to handle increased freight service, passenger service, and hauling coal on the East Broad Top Railroad. It is now restored by the East Broad Top Railroad as a tourist train in Orbisonia, PA.
Durango and Silverton Rail bus 410

Built in the winter of 1987–1988, the Rio Grande was originally railbus trailer 1002 and was painted red. It was used with the Animas Canyon Railway Diesel-powered rail-bus. It was stored from 1992 to 1997, until it was rebuilt as an open observation car 313. It was given number 313, because it resembled the Silver Vista. After the Silver Vista was built in 2006, it became open observation car 410. In the winter of 2006–2007 it was again rebuilt into an open air observation car with comfortable and large overstuffed seats for a more expansive view. It runs daily during the summer
Rio Grande K-38

The K-36 Class Locomotives constitute the largest steam engines purchased new for use on the Rio Grande narrow gauge, and saw extensive use throughout the railroad system. These engines quickly became the workhorses for freight operations on the Rio Grande when they were received from Baldwin Locomotive Works in August 1925. This release will include four K-36 Mikados that survive to this day -- Nos. 481 and 486, which are in service on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, and Nos. 483 and 489 at the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. Also part of this release will be No. 485, which was scrapped after meeting its demise in the Salida turntable pit in the early 1950s.
The Durango and Silverton Railroad

The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, often abbreviated as the D&SNG, is a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge heritage railroad that operates on 45.2 miles (72.7 km) of track between Durango and Silverton, in the U.S. state of Colorado. The railway is a federally designated National Historic Landmark and is also designated by the American Society of Civil Engineers as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.

The route was originally opened in 1882 by the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad (D&RG) to transport silver and gold ore mined from the San Juan Mountains. The line was an extension of the D&RG 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge line from Antonito, Colorado to Durango. The last train to operate into Durango from the east was on December 6, 1968. The states of New Mexico and Colorado purchased 64 miles between Antonito and Chama, New Mexico in 1970 and operates today as the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. Trackage between Chama and Durango was removed by 1971.

The line from Durango to Silverton has run continuously since 1881, although it is now a tourist and heritage line hauling passengers, and is one of the few places in the US which has seen continuous use of steam locomotives. In March 1981, the Denver & Rio Grande Western sold the line and the D&SNG was formed.

Some rolling stock dates back to the 1880s. Trains operate from Durango to the Cascade Wye in the winter months and Durango–Silverton during the summer months. Durango depot was built in January 1882 and has been preserved in its original form.
The East Broad Top Railroad and Coal Company

The East Broad Top Railroad and Coal Company (EBT) is a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gaugehistoric and heritage railroad headquartered in Rockhill Furnace, Pennsylvania, 19 miles (31 km) north of Interstate 76 (the Pennsylvania Turnpike) and 11 miles (18 km) south of U.S. Route 22, the William Penn Highway.

Operating from 1871 to 1956, it is one of the nation's oldest and best-preserved narrow-gauge railroads, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964. The railroad, now preserved for use as a tourist attraction, has not operated public excursions since December 2011 and has operated no excursions since October 2013. In February 2020, it was announced that the railroad had been bought by a non-profit foundation which intends to resume operations in 2021.
Roaring Camp & Big Trees Narrow Gauge Railroad

Roaring Camp Railroads operations began in 1963 under the guidance of  F. Norman Clark (1935–1985), who was the founder and owner. His purpose was to keep a family tradition of constructing railroads and to "bring the romance and color of steam railroading back to America". In 1958, Clark found the engine *Dixiana* abandoned near a coal mine in the Appalachian Mountains; he described it as looking like a " rusty pile of junk". *Dixiana* was reconditioned and began service in 1963 on rails that had been shipped around Cape Horn in 1881. The railway route was laid out so that as few trees as possible would have to be cut on the 170 acres (69 ha) Clark acquired with a 99-year lease of the larger Big Trees Ranch.

The Big Trees Ranch was bought in 1867 by San Francisco businessman Joseph Warren Welch to preserve the giant redwood trees from logging. It was the first property in the state acquired specifically for that purpose. In 1930, the Welch family sold part of the property to Santa Cruz County, which eventually became part of Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park.

The first scheduled train trip was on April 6, 1963 with 44 ticketed passengers.

Clark's wife, Georgiana, Vice President of Operations assumed the ownership and management responsibilities following his death on December 2, 1985.

Originally, two large trestles formed a "corkscrew" loop at Spring Canyon, but these were destroyed by a 1976 fire, the smoke from which could be seen from San Francisco. Within six months, a switchback was constructed to bypass the severed loop and the entire line was returned to service. The switchback has an estimated 9.5% grade, making it the steepest passenger grade still in use. The length of the tail tracks in the switchback restricts the trains that may be operated to six cars or fewer. Special events are held to raise funds for repair and reconstruction of the trestles and steam locomotives at Roaring Camp. In 2003, the first "Day Out with Thomas" special event was held. The event was the single largest in the 40-year history of Roaring Camp, with an estimated 25,000 participants over a three-day period.
Rio Grande 315

315

**Denver and Rio Grande Western No. 315** is a class "C-18" or "c-19" 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type narrow-gauge steam railway locomotive that was originally built for the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1895 and originally numberd 3 and named "Elkhorn". It was later purchased by the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad (D&RG) and later saw service on the D&RGW. No. 315 was retired in 1949 and had been on display at two City of Durango parks until the Durango Railroad Historical Society restored the locomotive from 1998 to August 2007. It has been operational since and received its Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) mandated 1,472-day inspection in 2022 and returned to service in 2023 and currently operates on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad out of Chama, NM. Most "sister" locomotives to No. 315 were scrapped, but two others survive today such as is D&RGW No. 318 and F&CC No. 10. No. 318 is on display at the Colorado Railroad Museum and F&CC No. 10 is currently in storage at the Nevada State Railroad Museum.

RGS Geese

Galloping Goose is the popular name given to a series of seven railcars(officially designated as "motors" by the railroad), built in the 1930s by the Rio Grande Southern Railroad (RGS) and operated until the end of service on the line in the early 1950s. They were derived from full-sized automobiles.

Originally running steam locomotives on narrow gauge railways, the perpetually struggling RGS developed the first of the "geese" as a way to keep its contract to run mail into towns in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. There was not enough passenger or cargo income to justify continuing the expensive steam train service at then-current levels, but it was believed that a downsized railway would return to profitability. The steam trains would transport heavy cargo and peak passenger loads, but motors would handle lighter loads.

Motors were not only less expensive to operate, but were also significantly lighter, thus reducing impact on the rails and roadbeds. This cost saving meant that the first Goose was paid off and making a profit within three weeks of going into service. RGS built more Geese, and operated them until the company abandoned their right-of-way in 1952.
The Narrativium

History and events are controlled by narrative entities, known as narrators or writers. It is a worldview in which everything that happens is controlled by a narrator, who can manipulate the course of the story in a way that is more interesting or more dramatic. In this world, narrators and writers are powerful beings, capable of creating and manipulating characters and events in the story at their pleasure. They have the power to determine the outcome of the story and the fate of the characters. In this way, The Narrative implies that all stories are under the control of invisible narrators. They are responsible for creating the stories and controlling them throughout their structure and development. Narrative is a concept that can be applied to any media format, such as books, films, plays, games and even role-playing games, in which the narrator is the one who controls the story and events of the game.
Box Car 3130

Box Car 3130 is another example of the Ridgway Railroad Museum's efforts to restore the railroad heritage of Ouray County. The box car had been used locally since the 1950's as a grain storage shed and was donated by its owner to the Museum for display. The movement and restoration are shown sequentially below. Once seen in the hundreds up and down the RGS and the Ouray branch of the D&RGW, a Denver & Rio Grande Western 3000 series box car sits on the rails in Ridgway for the first time in almost half a century.
Durango and Silverton Nomad B-3

Built in 1878, the Nomad was originally named Fairplay. In 1886, it was rebuilt as Business Car N. It is reportedly the favorite car of D&RG president William Jackson Palmer. The Fairplay has hosted Presidents William H Taft, Ulysses S Grant and Theodore Roosevelt. While being owned by several parties between 1951 and 1982 the Fairplay was renamed the Nomad. It was acquired by the D&S in 1982
California Western No. 45

**California Western #45** is a 2-8-2 steam locomotive. It was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in October 1924 (serial number 58045). It is a class 12-32 1/4 E 2-8-2 Mikado, a stock locomotive that Baldwin had in their catalogs, and is one of 6 surviving Class 12-32 1/4 E 2-8-2 Mikados in existence.

California Western #45 is a 2-8-2 steam locomotive. It was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in October 1924 (serial number 58045). It is a class 12-32 1/4 E 2-8-2 Mikado, a stock locomotive that Baldwin had in their catalogs, and is one of 6 surviving Class 12-32 1/4 E 2-8-2 Mikados in existence.

The engine was originally built for the Brownlee-Olds Lumber Co. as their #3, where it was used to haul log trains until 1959 where it was later sold to the Medford Corporation.

The engine was retired from service in 1964 and The Medford Corporation sold #45 to the California Western Railroad in 1965.

Between 1965 and 1980, #45, along with stablemate #46, pulled the railroad's Fort Bragg - Willits summer steam excursion train, the "Super Skunk". This service resumed in the 1990's until it was again discontinued in 2001 when #45 went down for restoration. When she returned to steam in 2004, the decision was made the Sierra Railway, the CWR's new owner, to not revive the Super Skunk, due to the locomotive's age. It was, however, revived as a special event in 2006, but #45 now requires a helper locomotive for dynamic braking.

The locomotive is still at the California Western Railroad, operating tourist excursion service in the summer between Fort Bragg and Northspur on select days; otherwise, the railroad's EMD GP9m locomotives or historic diesel railcars do the bulk of the work.
Rio Grande No. 318

Denver & Rio Grande Western No. 318 is a class C-18 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type Steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in January of 1896 for the Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad. The engine first began service in the mining towns along the Florence & Cripple Creek Railroad until 1917, when the Denver & Rio Grande Western R.R. purchased the engine for $2000.

It was initially numbered 428, it was later changed to 318 and hauled passengers and freight out of Salida, Durango and Montrose. In 1954, Cornelius W. Hauck acquired the locomotive and put it on public display with his Narrow Gauge Museum in Alamosa. In 1958 the museum moved to its present site in Golden and No. 318 operated under steam until 1982.

As of today this beautifully restored Denver & Rio Grande Western steam locomotive is at the Colorado Railroad Museum but now the locomotive is on static display.
White Pass & Yukon No. 73

White Pass & Yukon No. 73 is a 2-8-2 'Mikado', steam locomotive built by the Baldwin locomotive works in May 1947 (serial number 73352) for the White Pass & Yukon Route railway. It's most notable for being the last steam locomotive purchased by the White Pass, and one of, if not the last Narrow Gauge Steam Locomotive ever built. The engine was design to work for the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad, which ran from Skagway, Alaska, to the Yukon Territory in Canada. The locomotive was retired from service on June 30, 1964. In 1968, the locomotive was moved to Bennett, British Columbia, for display. In 1979, the locomotive was moved again but this time to Whitehorse, Yukon, to be restored to operating condition. Today the locomotive is Operational once again, and is most commonly used on the "Fraser Meadows" Steam Excursion, which takes place twice every week.
Durango and Silverton coaches

The D&SNG operates one combination car 213 named Bitter Root Mine, it was previously named Home Ranch and was built in 1983 by the D&SNG. It has a hydraulic lift for passengers in wheelchairs.

The D&SNG operates several other coaches:

1. 257 Shenandoah, built in 1880
2. 270 Pinkerton, built in 1880
3. 291 King Mine, built in 1881

15. 337 Fort Lewis, built in 1964
16. 503 Crazy Woman Creek, acquired in 2019. 503 was originally a flat car built in the 1940s, then converted for use as a coach in 1982 by the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad.
Durango and Silverton B-2

Built in 1883, the Cinco Animas was originally an immigrant sleeper. Immigrant sleepers had very few amenities and had little consideration for passenger comfort. The original Cinco Animas could seat up to thirty passengers. It was turned into a business car in 1913. In 1963 it was purchased by the Cinco Animas Corporation, where it received its present name. Then, in 1982, the Cinco Animas was sold to the D&S. It runs daily throughout the summer
Booth-Kelly Lumber Co. No. 2

Booth-Kelly Lumber Co. No. 2 is a 2-6-6-2T "Articulated" steam locomotive. It was built in January of 1910 by the Baldwin locomotive works for Booth Kelly Lumber Company.

The locomotive was used to operate on the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company's logging railroad operated in the area around Wendling, Oregon, northeast of Eugene.

The No. 2 was successful in service, although it was the only logging Mallet of its type until 1920 when Booth-Kelly #6 was ordered.

By the 1940's Booth-Kelly generally used skeleton log cars, although before 1920 flat cars equipped with logs bunks were used.

The locomotive operated until 1945, when it and the Booth-Kelly's other steam locomotives were retired then 2 years later the locomotive remained in storage until 1947 when it was now scrapped.
Eureka & Palisade 4

The locomotive was built by Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1875 for the Eureka & Palisade Railroad in Nevada, which was built to transport passengers and goods from the mining town of Eureka to connect with the Central Pacific Railroad in Palisade. The engine served on this railroad until 1896, when it was sold to the Sierra Nevada Wood and Lumber Company. It operated on the Sierra Nevada Wood and Lumber until 1938 when the company dissolved and the engine was sold to a scrap dealer.

Warner Bros. bought the engine in 1939, and it was featured in many films, such as *Torrid Zone*, *Cheyenne Autumn*, and *The Great Train Robbery*. The *Eureka*'s last film appearance was in the 1976 film, *The Shootist*. In 1978, the California State Railroad Museum was in the process of restoring North Pacific Coast no. 12 *Sonoma*, another 8/18C class 4-4-0 nearly identical to the *Eureka*. The museum had the latter stripped down to reveal its original paint scheme that was still on the engine, and used it as a guide for restoring the former. The *Eureka*was later sold to Old Vegas, an amusement park in Henderson, Nevada, where it was placed on display in 1980. In 1985, a fire occurred at Old Vegas, with a burning building collapsing on the *Eureka*, badly damaging the engine.

A year later, the engine was discovered by Las Vegas attorney Dan Markoff, who then purchased the engine and restored it to operating condition with the help of his father. The restored *Eureka* debuted at Railfair '91 at the California State Railroad Museum. It was then operated on U.S. Gypsum's private tracks in Plaster City, California, in 1993. The locomotive was listed as a structure on the National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 1995 and was the first transportation listing in Las Vegas.

In 1997, *Eureka* was transported to Chama, New Mexico, for a series of operational excursions over the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad in late June. The engine continues to make appearances at various narrow gauge tourist railroads during special events, such as the Cumbres and Toltec, Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, the Nevada State Railroad Museum, and the Nevada Southern Railroad Museum among others. When the engine is not participating in such events, it is kept stored in Markoff's specially constructed shed, which is not open to the public. Dan Markoff is rather cautious as to how often the engine operates, and does not intend to have the engine operating regularly as the engine still retains its original boiler and several other components.
RGS 20

Keeping No. 20 Running

For about 13 years, No. 20 chugged up and down Phantom Canyon, until the flood of July, 1912 ripped out much of the track and brought a halt to F&CC operations.

In 1916, F&CC’s No. 20 was sold to the Rio Grande Southern (RGS) for $2,500 and was moved to the Denver and Rio Grande shops in Alamosa for a complete overhaul at a cost of $1,415.

The rebuilt No. 20 arrived in Durango in March of 1916 and began service on the RGS line and spent the next 35 years on the Silver San Juan Route. In 1951, the RGS went bankrupt and

No. 20 was retired.

The Rocky Mountain Railroad club purchased No. 20 for $2,400. The club has spent considerable amounts of money over the years to keep it in top-notch cosmetic shape, resulting in its placement on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

Heavy Ten-Wheeler

No. 20 was a 4-6-0 Ten-Wheeler weighing in at 33 tons. This weight, greater than typical for the time, provided increased track adhesion which allowed it to haul heavier loads over the steep Colorado Rocky Mountain grades.

Back when it operated on the F&CC line, it could travel on the line because the track was built to high standards using 45-pound rail and tie plates. The F&CC was able to use locomotives that would have been too heavy for many other narrow-gauge railroads.

In fact, the RGS only had 30-pound rail from Ridgway to Telluride so they had to upgrade the track before No. 20 could travel on it. A Close Call for No. 20

On August 31, 1943, Locomotive No. 20 and Locomotive No. 40 were pulling a heavy freight load up grade. The lead No. 40 derailed on the inside of a curve at milepost 142 near Cima and pulled No. 20 over as well.

No. 20 had a flat spot on its boiler, but it wasn’t seriously damaged so it was hauled back to Ridgway for repairs. That spring, No. 20 was back on the track.

A Ticket to Tomahawk

No. 20 became a star when, in 1949, it was cast in the movie A Ticket to Tomahawk, produced by 20th Century Fox.

This fictional film was a Western Comedy about the Tomahawk & Western Railroad and co-stared Dan Daily and Anne Baxter.

Although the script was written for an 1875 Baldwin engine, none remained in existence.

Because of its antiquated looks, the producers

of the movie decided that No. 20 would be

adequate with a few modifications. The props

department added a large balloon stack, wood

pilot, fake Baldwin plates and a kerosene headlight with antlers. It was also painted in shades of red, green and gold and a fully-rigged clipper ship was painted on the sides of the tender.
Dixiana Shay 1

Built in 1912, this engine was originally owned by the Alaculsy Lumber Company, and was used on the Smokey Mountain Railroad in Tennessee. The *Dixiana* is named for a small narrow-gauge mining railroad, now abandoned, out of Dixiana, Virginia. Notable characteristics include the boiler, which was set left of centerline to compensate for the weight and position of the engine – giving it a lopsided appearance – and the engine design of a three-cylinder exhaust system.
