End of days for RGS K-27 # 455 (pics)
| March 23, 2011 12:14AM |
Here are a couple of photos of the "end" to RGS K-27 # 455 taken in Ridgway, CO in 1953 by Charles Franzen which were recently offered on Ebay. Interesting to note also the boom of the RGS Lorain shovel in the foreground so it apparently met its fate at the hands of the scrap dealer as well. Sad to think how both the #461 and #455 could have been purchased for just $1,800 a piece at that time
