Durango & Silverton

- In August 1923, ten powerful narrow gauge 2-8-2 Mikados rolled out of the erecting hall at the American Locomotive Works in Schenectady, New York. Originally classified as class 140s for the Denver & Rio Grande, and later as K-28 locomotives for the reorganized Denver & Rio Grande Western. Immediately upon delivery, these locomotives were put to work on the D&RGW. Flash-forward to today, three are still around, two operational, and still working hard on home rails for happy passengers of the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. In 2023, these beautiful locomotives celebrate their 100th Anniversary of being built. To celebrate this momentous occasion, the D&S organized special events involving K-28s. The first one occurred in February with #476 on a what-if charter if the Silverton Train operated in the winter in the early 1970s, which you can view coverage of here • Denver & Rio Grande We... . The second, which is covered in this video, was with #473 pulling a mixed train to Silverton and back with some photo-runbys offered for paying passengers. We had a fantastic time trackside with #473, and we're very exited to return once again for the final K-28 Centennial Event!

473 looks great with fresh shiny coat of gloss black paint
Like many other steam locomotives.
