With various active topics on Narrow Gauge currently happening, I thought I might start a topic just to have everyone show off their various Narrow Gauge photographs no matter the roadname or the type of equipment. I will start it off with little #1 of the Cripple Creek & Victor NG RR.
I guess I'll need to represent the east coast. Here once again in all it's glory... East Broad Top! Here we see #14 on the first run of the day, at the station, and a good chance to get some good photos. Another view of her, waiting to depart for colgate grove. And last but not least, she's thirsty so a drink from the hydrant. Yea, it's a shame the owners won't do repairs on her. The original water columns are broken.
In my humble opinion, the most photogenic place I have ever railfanned, the Sumpter Valley Railway in eastern Oregon. If you have not been there, go there. This shot is in the least scenic part. Reflecting pools with dead calm water, Pacific northwest forests, it's great, plus these two steamers, No. 19 and No. 3.
Oh, duh. The photo in my sig line is of the narrow gauge railroad at Knott's Berry Farm back in about 1958.
Cool, we are now international on this topic as well. [ 26. May 2004, 15:18: Message edited by: Stourbridge Lion ]

That I don't know but maybe Russell or one of the other D&RGW Railfans might have that anwser. Here is another angle that you might find helpful.
Nearly forgot, where is #191 that was listed above as the oldest Locomotive in Colorado. Here is some history about this engine from the Colorado Railroad Museum web site.
