Double head steam at the Colorado Railroad Museum on June 18, 2016 They say this is the first time they have done a doubleheader with the historic steam locomotives here.
Colorados investment into their railroad heritage goes to show how much of a draw railroads are to tourists. First thing I think of when someone says Colorado is Steam! Cumbres and Toltec, Durango and Silverton, Rio Grande Scenic, Colorado Railroad Museum, Georgetown Loop, Cripple Creek. They all make me want to take a vacation there!

Don't worry now they have a UP 3 chime on 491. Sometimes I think it will blow it right off the tracks.

Ok so my earlier comment was absolutely stupid (note it was last year) because the whistle isn't even that bad and it does kind of sound like a DRGW 5 chime.

The whistle on 491 in this video is her 491 5 chime. It's a D&RGW 5 chime. yes, it sounds awful - it had casting defects (hole in one chime, big divet out of another), the railroad apparently didn't care... but this is what she had for years.

MPT 482 I know this comment is half a year old, but I think the green boiler was something the D&RGW did with some of their "passenger" engines, but don't quote me

What are those boxes or little house looking parts on top of their tenders and what are they for?

The museum calls it a "doghouse" it's where train crew would sit to see the train better. It's also heated by steam.

5.56x45mm they are called Doghouses. The brakemen would sit in them when not on top of the cars on freights trains. They’d sit in there because it’d be way too cold in Colorado with harsh weather to be outside. The heat and shelter was vital to the brakeman.
