I have not been to Como in over 40 years, but remember there was an old boiler sitting in front of the roundhouse. Someone once told me that the boiler was not left by the railroad, but by a subsequent owner of the building that used it for some kind of gravel operation. Does anyone know more about that boiler? Is it still there? I note in the Hol Wagner book that the boiler from 4-6-0 319 was sent to Como after it was dismantled in 1926.
