Post subject:  RGS 0400, others

Just a nice photo of this old caboose on the end of an Rio Grande Southern train. I played in it briefly as a kid when it was parked with two other cars at Ridgway, Colorado in 1958, near the old roundhouse, which was by then a sawmill. I think it ended up on the Georgetown Loop, but not sure if it is at Golden or Silver Plume now.

No. 20 at the Museum in 1968. It may be steaming again, as will the 346 (which also worked on the RGS, both as a D&RGW engine and for the Montezuma Lumber Company).

A very derelict Galloping Goose 2 at Ridgway in 1952, again operable today at Golden.

Goose 4 at Telluride, the only one of the flock that has not been made operable again.

Goose 5 at Ridgway in 1952, once again a moving piece of history.

Ex-C&S 74, on one of the excursions, about 1949.

And 74 parked at Ridgway, 7/52, probably just before it was shipped to Boulder. Though heavily dismantled at Strasburg (Colorado), it is not a likely candidate for operation at this time.

Goose 7 at the Museum, in more recent years.
