| Tucked to the side of the display area at the Museum was RGW 4-6-0ng #20. I almost had the sun in the right spot! Rio Grande Western 4-6-0 #20, also known as Rio Grande Southern #20, is a historic narrow-gauge steam locomotive that is now part of the collection at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, Colorado. It was built in 1899 by the Schenectady Locomotive Works for the Florence & Cripple Creek Railroad and later operated on the Rio Grande Southern Railroad (RGS) until 1951. After years of service, #20 was acquired by the Colorado Railroad Museum and underwent a 14-year restoration project costing over $1.5 million. |
