Interesting video with quite a bit of Midland Terminal steam locomotive action with both their early power and the ex-U.S. Army 0-6-0's that the MT had converted to Moguls. There is a close up, side view at about the 46-minute mark, which beautifully shows one of the Army Lima-built engines working hard as a 2-6-0.

One more thing beside the Worthington feedwater heater, #59 sports the experimental self trimming tender built by the Colorado Midland and used on engine #21 until the end of CM operations. #59 in this photo, was the Midland Terminal's chosen passenger engine until they went to motor cars build from former Colorado Springs trolley cars.

I believe Midland Terminal # 59 was used on the last passenger excursion train before the line was abandoned. I seem to remember seeing a photo of the engine coming out of a tunnel during a movie run.
