Bumblebee #268 On Scrap Train 1955
| September 01, 2011 06:58AM |
Here is a nice series of photo taken June 22, 1955 along the Gunnison River. We see D&RGW #268 in her bumblebee paint pulling the scrapping train along the line. The rail-puller car is D&RGW OV. She was developed from an old ballast spreader especially for this sad task of pulling up yet another narrow gauge branch line.
