K-27 #461

The #461 is a K-27 Class Mikado locomotive built in 1903 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philidelphia, PA. The K-27's were affectionately referred to as 'Mudhens' due to their unfortunate ability to derail when they first went into service. The #461 started its service with the D&RGW RR. And for most of her life she ran the narrow gauge lines in Southwestern Colorado. In the late 40's the Rio Grande Southern began to lease locomotives from the D&RGW to replace the outdated steam power in their own stable. The #461 made many a run over Lizard Head Pass for the RGS. On 9/30/50 the RGS bought the #461 from the D&RGW. In the final year of the RGS The #461 pulled the scrapping trains that removed almost all that remained of the RGS in 1953. Then she was retired in 1953 after 50 years of faithful service on the narrow gauge highlines of Colorado.
