Rio Grande Number 268--the second narrow gauge shuttle |
Description: |
Beautiful locomotives in great condition. The Rio Grande must have been jealous of the Burlington No 9 in the 1948 Fair, therefore supplied 268 for the 1949 Fair. The shuttle was labeled Deadwood Central. |

The Fastest Steam Locomotive in the World |
Description: |
Not really. The real PRR 7002 had been scrapped, and the Brits will debate the speed claim. I still believe the PRR's Ada Ohio run is the winner |
