On the way home we stopped by Siverton, CO to watch 486 arrive. As we waited we looked around the yard and explored the museum inside of the depot. Ben
We caught up with the train in town after everyone had gotten off and the crew was preparing to back her back down into the wye. Ben
And that does it for this trip. Stay tuned to this thread as I will be heading out of town within the next month and plan to do some more railfanning! Ben
Couple of questions- What do those i nitials "PB" on the diesel represent? And what is the status of 493 as pictured?
Another place I need to visit again. It has been a long time.hboy: I see 486 has lost her plow since your winter trip to D&SRG
I too was curious about the heritage of #11. So far all I have found that it was built by US Steel with GE components but no mention of what PB stands for. As for 493 it is currently not operational and is on static display next to the Siverton depot. Unfortunately I have yet to find it if it is. Maybe Darren can jump in and give us and idea of the history of the depot? She sure did! I'm glad that this car gave you some inspiration! They have been slowly restoring it over the years. It was nice to see that they have put windows back in it and are in the process of giving her a fresh coat of paint. Ben
Now that I think about it, wasn't there an loco involved in some sort of collision years back? Perhaps this was the one? Damaged enough to not repair?
I wish that I had the answer for you Boxcar but I am not sure if it was involved in a collision or not. Ben
All, I have been away from the TrainBoard for a bit and took a vacation. I will be posting a variety of photos on here soon. Ben
Our first railroad related stop on this trip was at Promontory Point, UT. This is really out in the middle of nowhere! Jupiter #60 Ben
