Hello Jim

There is also various SG equipment there too, including a steam locomotive (I believe a pacific) that Mr. Shank says he is going to use on the Creede Branch.
A few years ago, on our way to Railfest, my father and I wandered by and caught Mr. Shank out side. He chatted with us and granted us permition to take photos of any and all located there. The weeds were rather high, though the 211 and a few other pieces were located on concrete.
When we talked with Mr. Shank, we asked what he planed to do with the NG equipment. He was vauge but said he had plans for a NG line.

Phil
