Read the schedule carefully. The #12 steam engine will only operate on certain days and certain trains for extra fare. This will be a return to steam operations after a couple years, since steam was withdrawn after FRA asumed jurisdiction.

The current serviceable diesels are #21, a two axle center-cab originally CF&I at Pueblo. This engine normally only handles small trains or helps #12 uphill.

The main loco is Porter #1203, originally built for US Gypsum at Plaster City, still equipped with a Cooper-Bessemer engine (just like a GE 70T).
