D&RGW Steam Survivors |
---|
Most of the surviving Rio Grande steam exists today on the D&RGW’s two successor narrow gauges – the Durango & Silverton and the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic. These two roads hold the largest collection of Rio Grande steam engines anywhere, and most still operate.
Only one standard gauge steam engine survives today – D&RGW 683, kept at the Colorado Railroad Museum.
