Western Railroad Discussion > Grand Canyon 18 goes to its new home 20 doesntDate: 01/31/08 17:05 Grand Canyon 18 goes to its new home 20 doesnt Author: SD45X SLRG 459 departs Walsenburg this morning with steam in tow, halfway to La Veta. At La Veta, set out the 20 due to some loading problems on the EMD.

OK...Image Of The Day. Just figured it out. Trying to get in good cheer... Date: 01/31/08 20:10 SLRG 18 & 20 Caught During Ground Blizzards Author: cozephyr SD45X fails to mention the extremely icy and snow packed roads he overcame to accomplish these fine images. The snowstorm overnight had left southeastern Colorado with fresh snow which turned into ground blizzards most of the morning with bitter wind chill. Brrrrr!
He tried climbing a hill in a 4x4 but snow and ice defeated that effort. However, his efforts paid off in many other ways. Well done! Wow do you post fast! Mine will have to await additional disk space on my humble computer. Date: 01/31/08 23:38 Re: SLRG 18 & 20 Caught During Ground Blizzards Author: Cjcheely Hello

Date: 02/01/08 15:31 Re: SLRG 18 & 20 Caught During Ground Blizzards Author: ProAmtrak Sad to see them go! Wonder if GCR is gonna look for more steamers!
Date: 02/02/08 12:45 Re: SLRG 18 & 20 Caught During Ground Blizzards Author: Thomas Looking at that last picture ...is that petrified smoke coming from that stack?
Thomas Date: 02/02/08 21:26 Re: SLRG 18 & 20 Caught During Ground Blizzards Author: FGS I certainly enjoyed the photos, thanks so much for posting them...I'm glad someone explain the IOTD. Yes, should qualify for sure...
