The "Great western Railway" of Colorado had 5 Baldwin 2-8-0 locomotives.Mainly used for hauling sugar beets and local freight,and sometimes short passenger trains,usually for company execs or special excurisions for the public.Two of their 2-8-0's are still in service today.#75 is at the Heber Creeper scenic railroad in Utah.and #52 is back at the Great Western railroad in colorado,{last I heard it's owner was going to start a tourist railroad using some of the GW"soriginal trackage. <br />The Great Western used steam trains in regular service up until 1974.They also have two other surviving steam locos by the way.#60 at the Blackhawk and western rwy in new Jersey.And their most famous locomotive #90 which is working the Strasburg rwy in Pennsylvania.
