AH. Makes sense as she was one of the two Cookes that came from the Colorado Central[CC 14,15 CC/UPD&G 107,108 UPD&G 7,8]. Also one of the 3 (11-13) not part of the rebuilding that created the B3-C class altho, they did did get the new, larger cylinders (15"x18"). C&S #11 scrapped 1918, #'s 12 & 13 scrapped 1923.
