    ViajeroDespite the locomotive lineup, this IS the carshopAs well as K-Class #484, we see Bombardier DL-535E #114 - a larger road diesel acquired in November 2023 from the White Pass & Yukon RR and intended for maintenance-of-way duties and as an emergency backup for the steam fleet. This locomotive features a modern full-width "safety cab. The diminutive C&TSRR #168 is the former D&RGRR narrow-gauge steam locomotive, originally built in 1883, and restored by the C&TSRR. After decades on display in Colorado Springs, the locomotive was moved to the C&TSRR at Antonito in 2015 and returned to active service in 2019, pulling a historically accurate train for special excursions and events.
