Date: 08/02/06 19:29 Re: More from the Loop Author: grande473 Number 9 finally was converted to oil. The entire C&S narrow gauge locomotive fleet was to have been converted to oil but the enpense of putting facilities at Como and Leadville nixed that idea. Only one engine was converted, the 70. You would wonder what firemen Pete Marinelli (Leadville to Como) and Bob Terrill (Como to Denver) on the last passenger run would have thought if they knew their engine was an oil burner.
