Rio Grande Southern #20, belonging to the Colorado Railroad Museum was steamed up today for the first time since 1951(?) outside the Strasburg Rail Road's backshop, where she has been undergoing an overhaul since the fall of 2006.
Her pops were set today, and she will be steamed up again tomorrow to see how she runs. She will be returned to CRRM shortly for the addition of her cab, brake plumbing and cosmetic details.
