Yes I know it's not NG, but the cover story on the May issue of TRAINS is about the many lives of the Rio Grande Scenic's #18. Chris Zahrt authored the article & he traces the locomotive's history from its construction by Alco in 1910 through its many reincarnations for various tourist railroads. He discusses the reasons for the successes & failures of the enterprises that operated her & features many fine pictures of her career. Thanks to Chris for a well written & informative article.
