Hi, All -
The possibility / desirability of a double-header with both #315 and #20 has been mentioned before, but it just occurred to my feeble brain this afternoon while corresponding with Dennis D'Alessandro of the DRHS that both of these engines are ex- Florence & Cripple Creek. In spite of the (hopefully unfounded) rumors that #315 would not be running on the C&TS in 2010, I for one am going to start saving my pennies just in case a fund is needed to support temporary re-painting - or at least re-lettering - of both engines (and maybe akibbutz caboose) for the F&CC ...

p.s. Did either of them sport a green boiler jacket when on the F&CC?
