South Park City's Porter Mogul
| October 04, 2009 09:38AM |
If you are in Fairplay CO, visit the their historical recreation called South Park City. Besides examples of all the many buildings and businesses (blacksmith, carpenter, doctor, general store, saloon, etc.) present in a community of that period, you will find a train with a consist of cars from the D&RGW with an imported Porter mogul from Guatemala. It's not exactly authentic, but it's a nice display, though it was in need of a little maintenance the last time I was there in 2006. Here's a link to their website: [www.fairy-lamp.com] .
