Those Aussie 4-6-2s look like a kitbash of some Canadian locos - some CP Royal Hudson sides, the front off a CN Bullet-Nose Betty, and the general streamlining of CN U4 Northern. Cool. One would almost think MLW made them...
L&N C-420 1375, ex-SCL, December 1977 (????) Colorado & Southern Rotary 99201, Golden, CO, January 1975 (Bob Jordan) (This and UP 0-60 4455 sat across the highway from CRRM for a number of years before being moved onsite)
Up till about 10 or so years ago, that rotary and the UP switcher sat there before they were moved across the highway onto the Colorado Railroad Museum grounds. I actually recall seeing the pair hiding in a lot of overgrowth when I was younger. Here's the same rotary, 37 years later in 2012 and a few hundred feet west

Rebuilt L&N S2M 2374, ex-L&NE 616, May 1975 (????) A partly crushed UP GP9B 307B, February 1977 (N. Chase) (This accident would retire the unit as it was removed from the roster in late 1977.)
I don't know exactly which engine, but it was a EMD rebuild, so it'd be safe to say its one of the 567s. A slight correction, they're Arrow IIs, not IIIs. As for the speed, the max was 100 mph, so I'd hedge to say around 80-90.
The UP Geep B-unit is a neat catch. According to Utahrails, the B-unit fleet didn't have much time left, as they were progressively retired between 1977 and 1983.
