 Post subject: RGS 42 at Magic Mountain
PostPosted: Tue Feb 17, 2004 1:02 am 

Former Rio Grande Southern 2-8-0 42 when running at Magic Mountain, a western tourist trap near Golden, Colo. in the late-1950s. Engine was converted to burn oil. Magic Mountain, which went bust about 1960, was closed for a time and is now known as Heritage Square. It has since had a two-foot operation and lastly a 15-inch gauge setup. No. 42 is in the roundhouse at Durango and the cars have gone to the Georgetown Loop.

Still in service. I think they were once C&S boxcars or reefers.
