i guess the request would be truly mainline running coal fired, the last of the coal fired on the D&S is a big deal if not an inevitable one. if the C&TS goes full oil that is a huge transition from the coal firing.

The D&RGW used coal from 1871 until the end and the D&S and C&TS used the same fuel until an unfortunate accident. Coal was king in Colorado for 150 years, the last coal fired engine not in a museum or strictly tourist railroad is a big deal.
