~wko -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good News out of Colorado Springs! The City of Colorado Springs has granted a series of 15 year leases totaling 45 years to the C&TS paving the way for the Railroad to relocate the 132 year old historic D&RGW #168 Locomotive to Antonito, Colorado. This will allow the C&TS the opportunity to restore the locomotive that once hauled President William Howard Taft, to operating condition and run on the tracks again. The #168 Locomotive has been on display in Antlers Park for 77 years just across the street from the Rio Grande Depot in Colorado Springs.
