A couple of snapshots of Colorado & Northwestern locomotive #32, just for the heck of it;
A circa 1900 shot of #32 with a passenger train. Not sure of the location, probably near the start of Four Mile Canyon, west of Boulder. #32 sports its as delivered paint scheme, the same as #30 is wearing right now at the Colorado Railroad Museum.
A slightly l;ater shot (note the difference in the lettering) of #32 at the Sunset Colorado water tank. #33 and its mixed train are Boulder bound, the grade of the C&N's Eldora branch can be seen above the water tank. Phot was taken from abouth the location of the present day road into Sunset.
Both of these snapshots reportadley came from the estate of Forrest Crossen, guy I got them from picked them up at the estate sale. I have never seen them anywhere else.
