Rio Grande 268 has had its "bumblebee" paint job completed and is under a new shelter at the museum in Gunnison, CO. Photos at link below. This paint scheme was first applied in 1949, when the locomotive represented the D&RGW at the Chicago RR Fair. Afterward, it returned to regular service out of Gunnison, where it participated in scrapping of the trackage in 1955. It was the last C-16 class in operation. http://users3.ev1.net/~ddye/268.htm ryarger@rypn.org |

Nice job, nice photos. Good to see a display engine under a roof. Sure as hell hope that's a REPLICA builder's plate on her, though!!! hpincus@mindspring.com |
