D&RGW K-37 #499 on the deadline at the Alamosa roundhouse. |
| Description: |
Photographed in its 10th year on the deadline; #499 (Baldwin c/n 20753) was built in 1902 as a standard-gauge consolidation and rebuilt in 1930 as a narrow-gauge outside-frame mikado. It was sold to the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge in 1981 and later traded to Royal Gorge Park for K-36 #486. Currently displayed with cosmetic restoration at Royal Gorge.

| Title: |
D&RGW K-37 #499 on the deadline at the Alamosa roundhouse. |
| Description: |
Both K-36 #480 (Baldwin c/n 58559) and K-37 #499 (Baldwin c/n 20753) had been sitting on the deadline since 1970 when I found them alongside the Alamosa roundhouse. Both were sold in March 1981 to the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge, where #480 still steams. The nonoperational #499 is on display at Royal Gorge. [Date of photo approximate.] |
