AMEN, Phil -

Of course both D&RGW #315 (ex-F&CC #4) and RGS #20 (ex-F&CC #20) were modified and upgraded subsequent to their F&CC days, but (as mentioned previously) IMHO they should at least be lettered (and given olive green jackets?) for an F&CC double-header commemoration (NOT a full-on Phraud-O-Graphic re-creation) on the C&TS once #20 is operational after returning to Colorado.  The recent highly successful visit of RGS Motor #7 to the C&TS bodes well for increased cooperation between the CRRM and the C&TS in sharing equipment - and right-of-way - for their mutual benefit.
