Re: 481 on the D&S

Mike,
I don't think in terms of where an engine ran like a K-36 going up the Silverton branch unhistorical because we do have to realize that nowday's they can only run where the track is. I also believe the 481 pulled the 0540 which was still in the Rio Grande scheme on her maiden trip--I'll have to dig a photo out on that one. Maybe the D&S should look at getting some diesels built and run multiple untis to pull longer trains and save on crew costs and just run steam during Railfest type events!
