[RITSlist] Trying to locate Ex-GN NW-5

[PATRICK CURTIS]

David-I have a slide of the 986 taken at Denver on Ex-RI (now Denver Rock Island) trackage, stored with a variety of rr equipment. This slide is dated July28, 1996. It does have Colorado & Eastern on the cab, and no headlight, windows, etc.  I seem to recall it being at Goodland, KS at some point; IIRC it was used there for a while...

  Subject: [RITSlist] Trying to locate Ex-GN NW-5


  I am a member of the Luce Line Railroad Club in Hutchinson, MN. I am 
  writing in regards to a project we are working on. Our club is 
  working with other local organizations to restore our 1887 Great 
  Northern Ry. depot and eventually turn it into a museum. We would 
  like to locate and acquire some equipment to display on the site.

  One of the more interesting pieces of equipment used on the line was 
  an NW-5 locomotive. It originally carried the GN number 186, but was 
  later changed to 986 during the BN merger. The BN eventually sold the 
  engine, and the farthest we've been able to track it is Denver. There 
  are a few photos available that show it in Colorado & Eastern colors 
  in 1990, but the trail goes cold from there. Some articles I've found 
  suggest that C&E was acquired by the Denver Rock Island.

  Does anyone have any knowledge of the wherabouts of this locomotive? 
  Can you confirm if the C&E was acquired by the DRIR? If so, could you 
  give me contact information for Tom Mars, or have him contact me? Any 
  information at all would be greatly appreciated!!!

  Thanks!
