Colorado and Southern Rotary #99201

After years of hiding across the street in the bushes, C&S Rotary Snow Plow #99201 is finally in a place to get decent photographs of as well.

UP #4455 & D&SL #10060

Something else Lisa and I pay attention too is equipment being moved around the yard which gives new photo opportunities. Here I catch Union Pacific Steam Engine #4455 with Denver and Salt Lake Caboose #10060 sitting in a new location.

"Stuff"

Something Lisa and I pay attention to anytime we go to the CRRM is noticing things in the yard that we don't remember being there before. In this case she spotted a "Box" that contains unknown stuff. She did not in a close up shot where the box came from.

D&RGW #318 Tender

... and would be remiss if I didn't at least include one Tender shot from D&RGW #318.

Agree the CRRM is a jewel!  In early May we went on the first tour sponsored by the Museum.  The tour included the V&T, California State RR Museum, Western Railroad Museum (trolleys), dinner train on Yolo short line, California Western at Fort Bragg and the Napa Wine train.  This was a GREAT trip and I highly recommend going on any of their tours.  Next year they plan to do Strasbourg and related sites.  Hope to see you there.

D&RGW #50

Lisa nearly missed Denver and Rio Grande Western #50 and in doing so ended up catching me in the shot taking video of the engines going by...

GC&SJ #3

Here you can see Golden City and San Juan #3 with RGS#7 and GS&SJ#4 is close pursuit. Now, think back when Lisa was standing outside the loop taking shots of the engines on the turntable with engines passing in front of you this close to each other. Which engine to photograph, such a wonderful dilemma!

Galloping Goose #2

Here is Rio Grande Southern #2 passing this location. Note, Lisa is on the outside of the loop so this set of photos show the other side of the engines.

Run-By Position #3

Lisa sets up at another location to catch the parade of engines from another perspective. Again we start with Denver & Rio Grande Western #346

Now some of you might recall this photo being posted before on TrainBoard:

Galloping Goose #2

Coming up next is Rio Grande Southern Galloping Goose #2 . I wonder if there is still any long lost USPS Mail in the back end?

D&RGW OB Pile Driver

As Lisa and I move to a different location we see a piece of equipment in the yard that is not normal and take a few shots. We learn it's just been moved here for work and also some "fun" that will be coming in another RRAdventures topic.

Cornelius W. Hauck Restoration Facility

Lisa will also catch one last shot of the 5 Stall Roundhouse from where she was positioned before changing locations for more photo opportunities. Lots of great work occurs in these walls as demonstrated by the days events.
