I was filing some negatives from a new collection that just arrived and I came across this interesting image of D&RGW #499 being steam up. Unfortunately the date and location are not on the negative sleeve. Our best guess is Alamosa.
She appears to be being steamed up in the several images I have from this spot. My question is what on earth is the 4-wheel cart with a pressure vessel on it? Did this transport live air to the engine to help in the steam up? I don't recall seeing one of these before.
