Denver and Rio Grande Western #346 is one of the oldest operating steam locomotives in the United States. The narrow gauge locomotive built by Baldwin in 1881, still pulls occasional passenger trains at the Colorado railroad museum in Golden, Colorado. The large device at the top of the smoke stack is called a ridgway spark arrestor also know as a "bear trap". It was designed to capture hot coal cinders where they went down a chute and later emptied. The locomotive looks very much like it did over 137 years ago.

Good to see her running again! In 2015 when I was there she was still getting some work done.

Great operation. Nice to see steam Locomotives still in service, in whatever fashion.

Sure would love to see these trains running in Ridgway CO on a rebuilt section of the RGS or a rebuilt Ouray branch. Several Billionaires have play ranches in the area and just hoard money rather than invest it in the community. Glad the trains are preserved, but it would better if they could be running in the context of where they ran originally or close, if possible.

346 is 'property' of the Colorado Railroad Museam, currently, she's undergoing a FRA mandated maintince overhaul, also there are several examples of what you just described in the state, most famously The Silverton

Having visited there a few years ago, from Washington State, I can attest to the quality of this museum. One of the best on narrow gauge. Although we were unable to ride the train we were able to witness the firing process of the locomotive. A personal highlight was the static display of one of the original Pikes Peak Rwy steam locomotives. A must see for any rail fan.

They are planning a triple header at the museum this year. It will be a first for the museum. If you want to see the Pikes Peak cog railway under steam see my other video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FeaPgsDFqUE.html

If that Bear Trap spark arrester it would make the locomotive twice as beautiful

The Museum looks a lot more 'civilized" than when I lived in Denver a couple decades ago.

Were the C-19’s originally built as standard gauge locomotives?

Still steaming since 1881, that locomotive has seen some things, lol for example, the introduction of the motor car 🚗😂

Does it actually go anywhere or does it just go round in a circle like her sisters at Knott's Berry Farm?
@travelingtom923
@travelingtom923 5 лет назад
Just a circle about 1/3 of a mile

whats the boiler in primer belong to at 2:47 ?
@travelingtom923
@travelingtom923 6 лет назад
It has been there a long time and I do not believe it is part of a complete locomotive. It may have been a boiler that was used as a stationary boiler for a company.
@guppybob
@guppybob 6 лет назад
Boiler originally intended for #111 on the Georgetown Loop. Was (apparently) made to inadequate standards, and therefore not used in her eventual restoration.
@DeathValleyLumberCompany

Brett Wiebold is that so, I wonder if it would fit on 44
@jacobwoods8738
@jacobwoods8738 6 лет назад
Possibly. 44 was 1920/1 batch, whereas 111 is 1924/6 batch.

I would love to see all those beautiful C class 2-8-0's fully restored and running on the Cumbres And Toltec line or Silverton line instead of just rotting away stuck in that museum.
@travelingtom923
@travelingtom923 4 года назад
I totally agree. They really need to move that museum to another location where they have more room. I told them for years they should have bought out Heritage Square in Golden when they had the chance.

Interesting wee "bobber" (4-axle total) caboose there, kinda out of place on a passenger train, but who cares about that?
@jdgfilms9595
@jdgfilms9595 6 лет назад
Thats a C&S Bobber Caboose from 1890
@jacquesblaque7728
@jacquesblaque7728 6 лет назад
Dumb mis-count from me. Should be 4-WHEEL or TWO-axle. Duh! Still a charming little anachronism.
