    Preservation News Vol. 2 No. 3 Fall 2015 NGPF STARTS RESTORAT ION EFFORTS FOR D&RGW T- 12 #168 The NGPF paid $10,000.00 for the move of D&RGW narrow gauge engine; T -12 #168, from its decades-long display site at a park across from the train station in Colorado Springs to insure restoration efforts could begin this winter. Raising money to restore an engine is far easier than raising money to move it from one place to another. Hence the NGPF felt it could make a difference by underwriting the move and helping the restoration project to start. The intent is to operate this T-12 on the C&TS. The history of this class of engine is explored in a related article on page 2, but it represents late 19th century technology for passenger power and remains an elegant example of the Golden Age of railroading. #168 was shopped at D&RGW’s shops at Burnham in Denver in 1938 and donated to the City of Colorado Springs where it has remained on display, cosmetically restored until it’s move this September for restoration. Indeed, it is possible that if the #168 is in as good shape as is hoped given its overhaul prior to being placed on display, a T class engine could be steaming in Colorado in 2016. The NGPF is helping to make this possible and the effort is off to a good start. And the engines Mal Ferrell called “these beautiful Rio Grande ten- wheelers” may be around for many years to come.

T, Krueger, superintendent of the Golden Spike National Historic Site says the Union Pacific Railroad has donated to the National Park Service rails and fittings for a mile of track to be used in development of the site." The article goes on to state that the rails, "Although not manufactured until the 1 8 8 0 s ..(are)..the same weight as rails laid here in 1869 - 56 pounds per yard. Union Pacific President Edd H . Bailey offered to donate the rails after re­ ceiving an inquiry from the National Park Service as to shether any rail of this type still existed. The railroad then delivered the material at the nearest railhead, Corinne, Utah, 25 miles from Promontory Summit, George B„ Hartzog , Jr., director of the National Park Service, termed the donation 'a significant contribution to the over-all interpretive development we have in mind fox this outstandingly important place in our country's history,1 It's expected that development of the Golden Spike National Historic Site will be substantially complete by the centennial date of May 10, 1969.

    Preservation News Vol. 2 No. 2 Summer 2015 NGPF ASSISTS IN THE FINAL RESTORATION OF RGS #20 The NGPF is proudly leading the effort toward final restoration of this seminal narrow gauge engine, so prominent in the history of the narrow gauge lines of Colorado. The NGPF BOD authorized a challenge-matching grant of $40,000 to cover the $80,000 final cost to finish restoration and return the engine to its home at the Colorado Railroad Museum. Consistent with the policy of the NGPF, we offer matching grants in order to spur local fundraising and encourage private donors to participate. More than one recipient has noted with surprise, how effective these matching grants can be to encourage a new level of giving. RGS #20 came from another fabled but short-lived Colorado narrow gauge line, the Florence and Cripple Creek (F&CC; see companion article, infra). Constructed by the Schenectady Locomotive Works in 1899, the class 85 4- 6-0 (later class T-19), generally called a “ten- wheeler”, was popular for passenger service ion the early 20th century. The D&RG had a lighter class of ten-wheelers, T-12’s which operated as late as 1941 on the Chili Line. F&CC #20 was sold to the always cash-strapped RGS in 1916 serving on that road until abandonment in 1952. When delivered, the engine was too heavy at 85,000 pounds for the 30 pound track of the RGS on its northern end. Consequently, it Durango 1951 Photo by R. Kindig operated primarily between Durango and Telluride.
