D&RG Rotary 012 was a standard gauge rotary, built by ALCO-Cooke. It was renumbered 018 and again to 071 in 1910. It was based in Salida and used on Tennessee Pass, the Ibex branch and La Veta Pass. It was equipped a set of narrow gauge trucks used when Rotary ON was in the shop. It was last used on the narrow gauge in 1923 on Marshall Pass. It was scrapped at Salida in1949. The photo shows 012 on the D&RG’s Blue River branch or the Ibex branch. It was used on both. It was also loaned to the C&S a couple of times.
Attached is a photo of Rotary 071 and ON at Salida in 1927. All of this will be covered in my D&RGW/RGS snow fighting history.
