The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad (C&TS) honors 100 years of K-36 steam locomotives in its 2025 Spring Dispatch, spotlighting their enduring legacy across the narrow-gauge rails of Colorado and New Mexico. This special issue dives into the history of these powerful engines—originally built in 1925 by Baldwin Locomotive Works—and follows their journey from hauling freight to becoming iconic fixtures on the C&TS. Restoration work on Locomotive 483 continues, with volunteers transforming the once-retired engine into a striking static display in Chama.
