Really cool!! I can recall seeing a couple of them simmering in front of the Durango depot way back in the late 1950's as we were passing thru on a vacation trip. Then was lucky enough to have ridden behind 497 while she was on the D&S. And now ANOTHER K-37 has sprung back to life!!! Three Cheers to the CRRM crew for making it happen (and thanks to the D&RGW shop crew in Alamosa who set the stage for this by giving 491 a proper overhaul way back then!)
