On thursday the 29th, Bunning Transfer Trucking Company brought the
Tender of Colorado & Southern #9 into the Antonito Railroad Yard..
it was probably the first time in History a Colorado & Southern
piece of Equipment had ever seen the sun in the Great San Luis
Valley!! |
|
 |
Under the watchful eye of Marvin Casias and the excellent Driving of
the Truck Driver... Colorado & Southern Tender #9 is backed into
Track One.. |
|
 |
The Rails on the Truck Trailer and the Rails on Track one come
together and for the First time in History a Colorado and Southern
Tender will touch the Rails of the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic
Railroad. Thursday April 29th 2004 becomes a new day in the History
of this Locomotive Tender #9. |
|
 |
Alot of people ask me why I am not in more photo's, well there's my
shadow..its the best I can do!!! |

With Marvin at Diesel 19's controls and using Tender 487 "freshly

Off the Trailer and onto Track one! |
|
 |
The Truck Driver, he is the man who moved the Tender all the way
from Georgetown, He was in charge of a Priceless piece of Railroad
History and he delivered right on schedule... Everybody, give that
Guy a Hand!!!!!! |

Tender #9 sits in Antonito.. |
