In September 2015, a very historic event for a piece of railroad history occurred in Colorado Springs. In a cooperative move between the city council and the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, Denver & Rio Grande Narrow Gauge Locomotive #168 was taken from its display in Antlers Park. The locomotive was then sent to Antonito to be restored to full operation aboard the C&TS! In this set of videos, we watch as old #168 is gently tugged off the park's display stand, and onto 2 of Soni Honegger's massive military rigs for the trip south. This particular video showcases the preparation and movement of 168's tender. This engine hasn't breathed since the late 1930's, and it will truly be an honor to see this locomotive stomp down the rails once again some day! Rate. Comment. Subscribe. ENJOY!!!
