Re: Some old news

The last article says that "One of the tenders of the narrow gauge locomotives fell off a flat car and was lost on the way to Alaska." This is similar to the account Forest Crossen gave for dispositin of DB&W #1 in The Switzerland Trail of America. I have not found any record of a locomotive bearing any resemblance of DB&W #1 in Alaska (with or without a tender). If anybody has any more on what happened to it, please share.

I'm not sure how seriously to take this claim since the same article says that "...six of the engines have been sold to a railroad in Mexico" when the railroad only had five locomotives at abandonment, and all are accounted for after leaving Boulder except #1 (#30, 31, and 32 stayed in Colorado on the C&S, #25 went to Utah, and #33 to Louisiana) with none going to Mexico. They had a total of six (but only five at a time) if you count the Climax (#2), but that left Colorado about 20 years before this article was written and didn't go to Mexico.
