RGS No. 20 is a T-19 class 4-6-0 "Ten Wheeler" type narrow gauge steam locomotive built by the Schenectady Locomotive Works in April 1899, originally for the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad (F&CC) and was given the name "Portland". After the F&CC went bankrupt in 1915, the locomotive, along with two other members of its class, were sold to the Rio Grande Southern Railroad Company (RGS). In 1952, as the RGS was coming to a close, the locomotive was sold to the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club and later donated to the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, Colorado. Rail fan Jim Lockart photographed this loco on his trip to the Museum in 1980. |
