In case ya need something to read.

A quote: "In dead storage at Durango, reasonably intact and restorable is No . 464, the last of the Class K27, 2-8-2 Mikados. Built by the Baldwin locomotive Company in 1903, it has 17" x 22" cylinders, 40" drivers, a 200 lb. boiler, weighs 108,300 lbs. , and had a tractive effort of 27,000 lbs. "

I would have figured the boiler weighed more than 200 pounds, but maybe it's one of them new-fangled aluminum boilers? I've heard about those...

Page 40 has passenger counts for years 1947-1960. Interesting stuff!
