More Mudhens
| March 15, 2010 08:52PM |
Since we seem to be on a mudhen kick (which is great), thought I would post a few more. First one is 463 on the 1994 tank car train at Chama. Second one is 464 at Durango in May of 1973. She sure looks better now. Third one is 483 hauling 463 dead down the hill in October 1972.
And a little bit of history...
February 2, 1912
Engine 463 was brought over from Salida to be used on the Crested Butte branch.
