Former Rio Grande 2-8-0 No. 268 is receiving some repairs at Gunnison, Colorado, including reinstatement of its notable "bumblebee" paint job, originally applied for use in the 1951 movie "Denver & Rio Grande". The engine finished its active service in this scheme, before being retired to display in Gunnison in 1955.

Correction: paint job was first applied for 1949 season of Chicago RR Fair, where 268 was operable with former C&S 2-6-0 No. 9. > Former Rio Grande 2-8-0 No. 268 is receiving > some repairs at Gunnison, Colorado, > including reinstatement of its notable > "bumblebee" paint job, originally > applied for use in the 1951 movie > "Denver & Rio Grande".
