Al,
   You are referring to former Great Western Railway 2-10-0 #90. She was
built in the Summer of 1924 and hauled sugar beats (Most of the time) out
there in Loveland Colorado, into the 1960's no less! Strasburg bought her in
1967, and uses very little of her 46,510 tractive effort to more those
tourists back and fourth :)  the BR&W her in NJ has her sister a 2-8-0
#60... they restore her to service every now and then.

Isn't the 2-10-0 that the Strasburg RR runs a Russian?   It seems to me that
the
last
time we were down there, I recall the engineer referring to it as a "Russian
Decapod", ex Frisco?  I'll have to dig out my touristy stuff and see.
