As for the equipment in Boulder, D&RGW coach 280 is being restored at Uhrich Locomotive Works in Strasburg Colorado. The coach is nearing completion and should be done by mid December. Current plans are to move the coach to the Georgetown Loop Railroad next summer and operate it for a while before returning it to Boulder.
Work is progressing slowly on the locomotive, Colorado & Northwestern #30/C&S 74/RGS 74. The City's ultimate goal is to restore the locomotive to operable condition. So far the asbestos has been removed, some boiler inspections and a mechanical evaluation have taken place. No major mechanical problems have been encountered, just a need for lots of money. The front tender truck will be rebuilt shortly and a grant was applied for in October to completely restore the tender.
