Mark,
I’m not sure which prototype railroad
owned GE 23 ton box cab locomotives, but I believe the D&RGW had one. The
paint scheme is resembles that railroad.
My model is pure fantasy and based on the
locos in the beloved San Juan Central series by Malcolm Furlow in Model Roader
Magazine. That series was part of my entry into the hobby, so when I built my
own layout, I had to have one on *my*
narrow gauge railroad.
I justify it by noting that Boulder’s narrow
gauge railroad disappeared in 1920, but if it survived into my 1958 era, it *should* have had one of those photogenic
yard goats. J

Congratulations to you and your team for bringing the
C&S north of Denver
to life. Very well done.
Which RR owned the tiny box cab at Boulder? I take it was NG?
I don't know a lot about the RRs north of Denver, but I do know a lot were proposed, a
few even laid track!
Some were predecessors of, and incorporated into the
C&S. The Clear
Water Canyon
for example.
I think I need to do some more reading. :-)

Thanks Mark. And
yes, that is dual gauge track.
Boulder had narrow gauge up into the mountains until 1920, and thus the
dual gauge in town. The C&S even had dual gauge to Denver briefly, in a bid to increase tourist
traffic up the canyon.
Thanks.
Jim

Did
my eyes deceive me? Is that dual gauge trackage in Boulder ?
I
don't mind asking dumb questions as it is a quick way to learn.

We return to freight operations in this next
operations-oriented video on the HO scale Colorado & Southern Ry, entitled
“ Foreign Road
”:
https://youtu.be/51sQUjKOSGA
This time, it’s the
Union Pacific Railroad running a local freight train to Boulder Colorado
. In 1958, the UP rolls the last two miles on tracks of the Colorado &
Southern Railway, thus the title.
See how a Union Pacific crew runs with trackage rights on the
C&S. Follow the action as today's UP Local delivers household appliances,
steel hardware, and more on a sunny June afternoon.
Like the previous videos, it's a bit different than most, and I hope you enjoy
it. And in keeping with this group, I’ll note that there is at least one Burlington Route
train in this episode. J
Thanks.
