Not that far away from Alamosa is the former SP&S 539 in WMS, AZ. A heavy Mikado. Since it now appears that the new owner of the Grand Canyon Ry. has little or no interest in steam and most likely would not attempt rebulding of this machine, I'd suggest giving her a look-see. Her t.e. & weight on the drivers should make her a fine puller on the SLRG. GCR should not have too much invested in the 539 as she was obtained through a swap.
