Please do! Yep, the 340 and 41 will be 120 years young then. Just about makes them the oldest regularly operating steam locomotives in the land. Fifty years in amusement park service! Who'd a thunk it? That's 15 years longer than the 41 spent working for either the Rio Grande (as their 409) or the RGS - 35 years each. Twenty years from now they will have spent more time on the GT&C than they did in Colorado. Any bets they'll still be there?
