| Description: |
Built by Rhode Island in 1887 as Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf #261, it landed on the Colorado & Southern roster when CS took over the UPDG in 1899. The loco had an unusual modification. A tall pipe led from the rhomboid spark-arresting cap on the stack itself down to the trackbed. It turns out that the stack is a patented apparatus is called the Ridgway Stack. The purpose was to keep any stray cinders from setting fire to the highly combustible right of way. Specs - D-4-c class, 37" drivers, modest 150 psi boiler pressure, 16x18" cylinders, light engine weight of 71,030 lb, small tractive effort of 21,172 lb.

| Description: |
Sad sight to see this 2-8-0 narrow gauge Consolidation sitting in a dead line. Built by the Brooks Locomotive Works in June of 1898 as Denver & Northwestern #32, it bounced through several rosters - Denver, Boulder & Western #32, Morse Brothers Machinery and eventually Colorado & Southern as #76. But, its travels were not over. The loco was sold to Cerro de Pasco Copper Co of Lima, Peru in 1948 and served there unti the mid-1960's. Specs - serial #2970, class B-4-F-p. Harold Vollrath photo |
