Hi All,
I am hoping someone here might have a good loco roster for the Crystal River RR and/or Crystal River & San Juan since it connected with the CM & D&RGW. The history of the roads appears pretty convoluted but that is not really where I am going.
I am tracing a Baldwin locomotive CN#3788 built 11/1875 for the Union Ry & Transit Co in St Louis. It was built as a SG 0-6-0 but later converted by them to a 2-6-0. My records show it sold to the CR&SJ ~1905 as their #6 and delivered to them at Marble possibly by a dealer. I have very sparse records of CR or CR&SJ and am hoping some of the very knowledgable folks here can help. Did this loco get to the CR&SJ, date, and whatever else you might could fill in. This info is being used in verifying some TRRA of St Louis roster files which themselves are really lacking for use in their bulletin.
Thanks all for any input anyone can provide. Complete rosters of both roads would be welcomed as well as they would fill some holes in my roster collection.
Blessings!
