Canon City & Pueblo Stuff
Author: TheGrande

Quick over night trip to Canon City followed by a morning in Pueblo yielded some decent finds. I will say I did not see out Topeka Cab GP7 on the CRRG!?

Picture 1: The F's.
Picture 2: The entire train.
Picture 3: A shot off the bridge of the switching going on.

One More.

Thanks for looking.

Very cool photos. You'd think they would have raised the $400,000 needed to do a cosmetic restoration on #2912 by now.

I think it'll need more than that. And it's hard to when you don't have any way to raise the funds. I "tour" the little museum everytime I go there, for free.

Is the Santa Fe 4-8-4 being worked on? What is its number?
Thanks.

I used to donate money to such things as resoring steam engines, along with other people doing the same. Currently and for the last three years, my 85% unemployment situation prevents that. I have no doubt and understand completely how difficult it would be for them to raise money whether they have a plan to do it or not under these circumstances.

ATSF 2912

Why 400K for a cosmetic restoration. Seems a bit high for not making it run. Just want to know what all goes into the 400K estimate.
