The plan is still to restore the 169 to operation - all it takes is money, people, and time, right? :-)

The locomotive and Business Car B-1 are in the pavilion in Alamosa, CO, and the local volunteers have the display open the first Saturday of each month, plus one week each in May, June and July.

(There are some more recent pictures of the train that I'll have to a) find, and b) get posted to the Forum.)

(IIRC, I owe some interior photos of the B-1, so I'd better start digging!)
