According to this link, Great Western Railway (of Colorado) 2-8-0 51 has left the Fillmore & Western in California on flatcars and is headed home to its owner in Mead, CO (on the GWR).

Great Western #51 is owned by John Birmingham of Mead, Colorado about halfway between Loveland and Longmont. John's son Jim runs the Cripple Creek and Victor. I would personally like to see #51 run on the Gee Whiz again.
