Great pics Klinger.
I'm surprised the C&T hasn't tried to buy the K-37. When I took the shop tour in Durango, the tour guide mentioned they ran K-36s because they didn't overly stress the D&S's 90 pound rail whearas the K-37s (ex std ga engines) were heavier and could cause damage (higher axle loading). The C&T runs 120 pound rail so K-37s weren't a problem. Sadly I saw 2 K-37s just a-sittin and a-rustin (one in Durango & one in Silverton).

P.S. You do realize we'd all prefer a pic of your girl friend rather then you, lol.![]()
Haha, no K-27's here, those are in Chama, the biggest loco they have here is a C-22 from the former Georgetown Loop. the museum has a K-37, but it does not run

Yep, that's Westside #14. I think #12 is also there. They are owned by the former operators of the Georgetown Loop. At the end of the 2004 season, the loop changed operators from GLR Inc to Railstar. When GLR Inc left, their equipment (Shays 12 and 14, 2-8-0s 40 and 44, and three GE diesels) went with them. As far as I know, all of the GLR Inc equipment is being stored at the Colorado Railroad Museum, except for former Westside #8 (I'm not sure where it is right now).I believe that Shay is an Ex-WSLCo. locomotive. I could be wrong, though.
Nice pics,
