Silverton Lines info-part four-survivors

January 23, 2003 06:36PM
This is going to be short, but I still have a lot of info to give out. School is just giving me a hard time right now.
In this, I hope to list every surviving piece of SRR, SG&N, and SN equipment. Buildings will be covered in future posts.
Engines:
Boiler of SG&N 32 at Tefft.
"Casey Jones" railcar in Silverton-operational
Passenger Cars:
SRR Baggage 5 in Silverton
Freight Cars:
SG&N 2003 at Texaco Plant
SG&N 2007 at Texaco Plant
Note:The cars are not in the same place as they were when Sloan wrote his book. I believe that a number of people reported them as being about 1.5 miles south of Silverton
SRR boxcar in Silverton-I don't have any current reports to back this up. Maybe someone could help?
SRR Caboose 17-currently in Durango undergoing restoration
MOW:
SG&N pushcar in Golden
It is a shame that these are the only remainders of these railroads. Particulary tragic since three other passenger cars were still intact in the 70's. But, the two cars at Tefft were in such bad shape and someone apparently demanded a ransom basically that they were unattainable. No more tragic than the loss of the SV passenger cars, a number of C&S cars, and I am sure many others. All the more reason to save whatever can be found.
