No 'W', William — not 'til after the merger, and the D&RG bought Elkton a few years prior to that.

Sounds GREAT to me, Dave -
A couple of years from now, when it's time for a second visit by ex-F&CC #20 (aka RGS #20), ignore Joe & all the nit-picky Phraud-O-Graphers™ and don't worry about all the mechanical details — just paint her green along with the Elkton and run a double-header from Florence (aka Antonito) through the tunnels in Phantom Canyon (aka Toltec Gorge) to Myers Avenue (aka Julian Street) in Osier (aka Cripple Creek)
