The Silver San Juan
D&RGW #315 has been undergoing restoration in a park in Durango, CO for the past few years. She's been on static display there for years. Well, the restoration has taken one more step to returning this beautiful little loco to operation. After 50 years #315 has been moved back to the Durango yards to complete the final stages of her restoration. From what I'm told there are some minor plumbing issues to be fixed to hook up the tender. And, the right main rod needs to be installed. I believe the plan is light a fire in her by sometime next week. After testing and adjustments, the #315 will be pulling some special trains later this summer.

This is so great to see another locomotive being brought back from the grave.
