Re: LIttle Mudhen

Frank Wright was the one who told me what I posted here.

He did write for the D&RGW Greenlight and other publications. He was fireman on the last run of 318 and the engineer on the last run of 268 (on the D&RGW). He started as a call boy at Gunnison in 1911 and I would trust his word over most folks. Interesting thing about Frank, he could not always remember dates, but I was able to confirm almost all of his stories in the local newspapers or D&RGW records. He also did not try to hide his mistakes.

"The last trip I made with the flanger I dammed near turned the 268 over at Iola. They had to sent to Salida for car men to rerail it."
