Gathering of Victorian Locomotives Part 3 - Glenbrook and Eureka to Chama

This week we ride behind the Eureka and Glenbrook to Big Horn on three restored 1890 passenger cars and follow them to Chama pulling an 1890 freight train.

We have been at the Gathering of Victorian Locomotives on the Cumbres and Toltec for a few shows now. The Gathering was a bringing together of five locomotives built between 1875 and 1897. The Eureka and Palasides #4 known as the Eureka, the Glenbrook which was in logging and passenger service on three railroads at Lake Tahoe in Nevada and California. Also, Rio Grande Southern #20, a ten-wheeler (4-6-0) that came in from the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden Colorado. AND Denver and Rio Grande numbers 425 and 168, backdated to their original appearance. Both locomotives reside here at the Cumbres and Toltec but one belongs to a restoration group in Silverton Colorado and the other to the Friends of the Cumbres and Toltec.

We have looked over old grades and will be following more interesting topics!! Stay tuned!!
