Hi,
This question is worded to see how people interperated the question.
Quote
Just a trivia point, What was the higest numbered loco used on the D&RGW narrow gauges?
If you interperate the question as the highest numbered D&RG owned locomotive, then yes 0-4-4-0t Mountaineer is correct. Its final number was 1001.
However, if you interperate the question as the highest numbered locomotive operated on the D&RG(W) the answer would be USA 3000 that became WP&Y 81 (I think).
The third choice is if you intepreted the question as the highest alpha-numeric number on the D&RG narrow gauge line, then the answer is N4700.
One was a British steam locomotive and two were military adjustable gauge diesels.
No gotcha, just different interpretaions of the same words.
Food for thought.
