> What engine was used in Mike Todd's > "Around the World in 80 Days"? > Where is the engine now? D&RGW K-28 #473 according to this Web page. The scene was certianly filmed on the Silverton branch. The locomotive is operable on the D&S, most recently in her bumblebee look. Hollywood comes courting eledbetter@rypn.org |

Looks like the key scenes are the 315 not the 473--kudos to Glenn. Hollywood comes courting eledbetter@rypn.org |
