Hol - OK, thanks for the clarification. Sedalia was on the Joint Line. Now I know. Best Regards - Louis

Sedalia is a station on both the Santa Fe and D&RGW on the Denver-Pueblo Joint Line, between Littleton and Castle Rock.  In 1949 it hosted trains/motive power of the Santa Fe, Rio Grande, C&S and MoPac (the Colorado Eagle), so the photo of C&S 912 merely represents a southbound C&S train on Rio Grande trackage at Sedalia.

Hol - I've had the attached image in my digital Archive for a long time and never thought much about it until your recent comments on Q steam power leased to the D&RGW. The image is identified as C&S No. 912 at Sedalia, CO, in 1949. No other information. Nothing in the background other than a Rio Grande box car to indicate a location. I recall that Sedalia is on the D&RGW, not the C&S. Could this image be of a C&S steam locomotive that was later leased or loaned to the D&RGW following the Q locomotives during World War Two? Or, do you think the image is misidentified? Would appreciate your comments. Thanks - Louis

Now for the "other" western road that briefly leased locomotives from the Q.  Late in 1942 and all through 1943 the D&RGW found itself extremely short of motive power and reached far afield to obtain additional locomotives.  Last year I posted shots of a pair of DM&IR 2-8-8-4 Yellowstones working freights west to Denver over the Q while enroute to the Rio Grande.  But during the final months of 1942 and the first half of 1943 the Grande leased five Burlington O-1-As and a single O-2-A.  They were used primarily in Denver- Pueblo service over the Joint Line and the attached image depicts Rio Grande C-48 Consolidation 1162 working as a Denver-Palmer Lake helper ahead of Q Mike 4999 on a 69-car freight photographed near Castle Rock, Colo., while on its way to Pueblo on the first day of 1943.
