C&S 71: Scrap Train to Casino

[Kurt Maechner]

In May 2024 I was able to visit C&S No. 71 for the first time since 1992. It is now perched outside of the Grand Z Casino along with combination baggage-coach No. 20. In this video I give a close up view of both the engine and combine.

In a blog post here, I list some other details, links to 71 when she was under steam, and a few photos from my visits to her in the early 1990s after the bankruptcy of the Black Hawk and Central City Railroad.
Enjoy,
Kurt

Does anyone know the story behind the "W" and "08" painted on 71's smoke box?
