To answer your question, YES; One of the current DSP&P Historical Society's directors is also a director of the South Park Rail Society.
Another one of the South Park Rail Society's Directors has owned the roundhouse for 16 years and has invested a large amount of his own money into the preservation of it. He started talking to me in 2015 about how to
"take the roundhouse to the next step", and that's where the South Park Rail Society came from.
As for the "secret locomotive"; the previous owner doesn’t want the attention this may draw as he has had security issues in the past. So he has asked us to not identity the locomotive until we have moved it off the property. I don't agree with his reasoning but since he has been very supportive of the project, we felt this was a reasonable request.
Also, let be clear here; we are not building another "dream" Colorado tourist railway. We are working to preserve whats already in Como and replicate other parts that are gone. Add to this a museum/restoration shop in the Roundhouse and the museum in the Depot which is currently being developed by your own DSP&PHS.
More information on all of this can be found on the website;
South Park Rail .com or in your current DSP&PHS newsletter that you should be receiving any day now if you haven't already.
