Those cab curtains will be mighty nice if the engine 20 crew ever encounters conditions like 493's engineer Ken Faucette and fireman Otteson were putting up with on the morning of January 25, 1966 - 28 miles per hour and 28 degrees below zero. That morning Alamosa was the coldest spot in the USA and those cab curtains were really needed.
Of course Golden never gets as cold as the San Luis valley, and 20 is not likely to hit 28 mph, but those curtains still look mighty nice
