Mike or any others with a good knowledge of C&S operations was the #537 considered a good steamer. Was she well liked by the crews and what was considered here maximum tonnage or in regular laymans terms how many cars could she pull. Is this engine larger or similar in size to a C-21 or C-25 D&GRW engine. Why was this engine used primarily between Dener and Como or Leadville only.
