D&RGW #223
| October 31, 2014 06:07PM |
With all the discussions regarding the potential restoration of D&RGW # 168, I was wondering what the status was of the longest? running restoration of a D&RGW engine i.e. #223 in Ogden, Utah. It looks like work focused on the domes this month and if you look at their Facebook page a lot more project work including cab and tender is documented. These guys are going to win the slow and steady award for sure, 
but really need some help with a grant for outside contracted boiler work, estimated at $300,000.
