The museum just spent a considerable amount repainting the engine and is not likely, with the current director, to consder spending more to change it.  She sure looks pretty right now, just not historically accurate.

This being the case, let's start an email campaign/petition to try to convince the museum to "do right by her!"  To who should these emails be addressed?

Sadly, however, the engine, though beautifully painted and lettered as C&N 30, does not look like it did at the turn of the 20th Century when it really was C&N 30.  It has a new steel cab, a new tender, and most obviously, outside Walschaerts valve gear -- all additions made by the C&S after acquiring it in 1921.  Thus, the engine should be displayed as either C&S 74 or RGS 74.  Too bad.

The Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden has reached an agreement with the City of Boulder that their train will be displayed at the museum.   C&S 74 (later RGS 74) has been cosmetically restored as Colorado & Northwestern 30 and is now on display at the museum with D&RGW coach 280 and D&RGW caboose 04990.   The train is still owned by Boulder, but since it was removed from the downtown park for possible restoration for the Georgetown Loop, the display site has been put to other use.   The train can now be seen at the museum.   It is restored as C&NW 30 because that was the road serving Boulder and also the original owner of the 2-8-0.
