  • Norm and other of the CRRM restoration team look over #491 prior to the first 'revenue' run since 1963.
  • Norm A. looks pretty happy before the first run of #491. And he should be. He definitely put a lot of sweat into getting her ready.
  • A couple more of the CRRM Restoration crew tending to #491 before the first run.
  • #491 looking beautiful as ever!
  • The First Run.
  • #491 approaching No Agua. Take a look at the first car. Quite a few of the guys from the Narrow Gauge Discussion Board getting the first face full of cinders!
  • A shot that could be from 1955 at Cumbres Pass. Just add a few more years and you have it!
  • Mike S. opens up the throttle of #491 on the second run around the loop.
  • #491 nearing No Agua tank at the Colorado Railroad Museum.

  • Steve F. said it best with this shot. "Big, Bigger, and Biggest!"
  • Another great payout from an after hours event...the marker lights get turned on!
  • Dusk rolling in.
  • 491 illuminating the Rogers Pass sign at the north side of the museum grounds.
  • 491 lights up the back of the Rico, now sitting on the north side of the museum grounds. This was a very long exposure, but turned out pretty good I think.
