Of all the steam locomotives operating at The Cog, how many have been built since 1930? There are some discrepancies between various sites on the 'net. I know one was built c.1972 (although I've heard it's boiler was built in the late 1950's), one was built in the early 1980's, and somewhere I've read that one was built in the 1990's. I'm assuming that all the "older" engines have gotten new boilers also, but haven't been able to find that out, either. Any info will be helpful. |

The list here is accurate. http://www.cog-railway.com/03chronological.htmTwo new steam locomotives since 1930, one in 1972 and one in 1983. As far as I know both were built new in their entirety, including new boilers.As to new boilers, each locomotive has probably had several during their careers.Roger |

Why was Col. Teague re-named "Kro Flite"? I would think Teague deserved continued honor. |

My understanding is that the railway wanted to stick with traditional names from the area.As an aside, an employee at Mt. Washington said when they had just applied the last strokes of paint while renaming the Col. Teague to Kro Flite when they received word that Mrs. Teague had died. The end of an era in more ways than one.Roger

Those two "new" ones I was aware of. An article in Trains a few years ago stated that a new number 2 was built in 1994, but perhaps they meant to imply that it was rebuilt and reboilered. Any idea what company(s) supplied the newer boilers?? |

I also believe they are no longer business.Roger
