Hollywood's Heavy Haul - a photo on Flickriver

            Who knew? After it's Hollywood acting role, D&RGW Consolidation engine #268, C-16 class 2-4-0s, would have to go right back to work. Here it is again hauling a freight drag in the Rockies. At least, it got a free Hollywood paint job. Maybe D& RGW (Dangerous and Rapidly Growing Worse) thought that they could expand on the Hollywood notariety and it's paint scheme - livery per rail fans. Some rail fans like Neal, called the engine's exhaust a "bituminous cloud." This is another of Neal Miller's photos he passed to me. I hope he donated his massive book collection (even the Colorado Midland book - worth hundreds itself) to the Colorado Railroad Museum before passing some time ago. 

The D&RGW ordered a raft of consolidation (C-16) engines to haul freight throughout the Colorado Rockies. Were they all from BLW - Baldwin Locomotive Works out east? Only later did they order larger engines and start converting standard gauge engines to narrow gauge, the 480s and 490s, which also worked several movies in their day. I thought that I ought to get this copy posted while Neal's previous #268 shot is still on this page. This is a significant version. 

My cousin confuses the word steamers with doggy leftovers in his back yard.
