    Durango & Silverton sells locomotive

    The Durango & SIlverton Narrow Gauge Railroad reports that it has sold one of its diesel locomotives. Locomotive P. B. #2 has been sold to the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad in FIsh Camp, California. It is scheduled to be shipped out of Durango in May.
    The above photograph is one I took September 23, 2005 while PB-II was doing yard switch duty to move passenger cars around from the returning Durango and Silverton trains. For more on this story check out the above publication on Page #3 which also includes a nice photograph of PB-II also doing switching duty on August 25, 2005.

    Okay, what type of diesel is PB-II? Looks like a Plymouth but I suppose it could be almost any industrial type.

    Okay, so it's somewhat similar to #7? From the head on shot I couldn't tell.

    #7 (aka BIG AL) is a 87 Ton Center Cab (Built 1975)

    Hotshot 1 which also sports the same paint job is a 50 Ton Center Cab also.

    If I didn't know where each one was when I took these photos I wouldn't be able to tell the difference either...
