Welcome to Gunnison, Colorado and home of the 268... again!

I thought you might like to see a few shots of this locomotive, its beautiful..

Its June and Galloping Goose number is in Antonito again, number 5 shares the yard with 484 and Diesel 19.

I thought you might just like to see these shots of narrow gauge equipment spending the night together.

The nose of Goose 5 and 484.

I think these came out great..

I think its great that we can give Number 5 the ability to roam over the Cumbres & Toltec.

All the places that goose roamed and now she's in Antonito next to 484.

I love that logo.

A few close-ups of the wheels for you modelers.

Can you see the Red passenger cars of the Cumbres & Toltec shining on the Goose.

There she is, that beautiful Number 5.

A detailed look at the trucks of the tender...

A view of the front trucks...

A view from the Coal bunker into the cab....

Now, the cab is locked up but I was able to shot these thru the window.

There are the firedoors, good ole' Clamshell doors, those can be a pain in the Can sometimes...

Now into the firebox.....

A look at the grates....

Check out those blind drivers....... pretty cool , Huh!

Now the cab, that is just beautiful......

Its June 18th and I am in the Left seat of a SL&RG Locomotive with Earl Knoob in the Engineers seat.....

There's Earl....

Now look closely, up ahead is smoke from a forest fire that had just started that day on La Veta Pass... Earl and I were actually delayed in La Veta for a little while...

Now here I go again, its June the 25th and I am again climbing La Veta Pass on a SL&RG Train. If you look closely, there are actually tank cars in the siding at "Sierra". The SL&RG Railroad with help from the city of Alamosa hauled 6 tank cars full of water to the Fire fighting crews working the forest fire over La Veta.... that's quite a nice thing to do to help out...

Pulling into La Veta and preparing to make a meet with another passenger train.

On the left is the second SL&RG Passenger train of the day in La Veta...

Onboard the train is the "Rocky Mountain Railroad Club"

I would like to thank you all for being patient with me, I am trying my best to catch up... see you again soon.... Carlos

Oh, and here is the builder plate of 268... is that the correct one??
