Back to Strasburg
Engine No. 90 is beginning to move out on the way to Strasburg.
She was built in June of 1924 for the Great Western Railroad by Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia. No. 90 is one of just two operational Decapod class (2-10-0-wheel configuration) locomotives remaining in America!
After spending 40 years hauling commodities—primarily sugar beets—through the mountains of northern Colorado, she was sold to the Strasburg Rail Road in 1967 for a grand total of just $23,000. As soon as No. 90 arrived in Strasburg over 50 years ago, she instantly became a fan favorite and remains so even today.
