Cripple Creek & Tin Cup 2-8-0 268 "Montezuma" |
| Description: |
Taken circa 1949, Cripple Creek & Tin Cup 268 makes an appearance at Alamosa, CO. No, this is not some obscure Colorado narrow gauge line, but a fictional line created for the D&RGW exhibit at the 1949 Chicago Railroad Fair. 2-8-0 268 was dressed up for the occasion. |

Built by Alco in September 1941 (c/n 69555), this particular locomotive was equipped with dual couplers on the rear, one offset and lower, for switching narrow gauge cars around the yard in Alamosa. The front had a unique sliding coupler that could be adjusted offset up or down with the aid of a power mechanism to accommodate either gauge.
