The Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden Colorado held a roll out party for the Rio Grande K37 #491 on August 29th 2014.
They have been working on this locomotive since 2013 after they acquired true ownership from the Colorado Historical Society.
Although the weather wasn't perfect it was awesome to finally see a K37 in action, I missed out seeing the 497 operate on the D&S and the C&TS.
The event included a BBQ supper and as many rides around the loop you could stand.
If everything shakes down with the 491 it will be used for the upcoming special events that are planned.
I sure hope to see the 491 in service this Fall, they're doing a great job restoring her.
