Almost surreal seeing 168 there.

Thanks, Joe.

Thanks Joe, she looks like she belongs there!
(some day, down the road, I'd love to see her in the western most stall in Chama (#9) with the windows behind her.)

Does anyone have photos of what the 168 is suppose to look like after restoration? I heard it was going to be restored to it's look in the early 1920's but I never could find any photos from that era.
Enjoy,
Blake

First off thank Joe for the pics - she looks in great condition at least on the outside, considering her time in the elements.

Blake - I've seen a pic in the last week or so, had to be on either TO or NGDF -- supposedly a 1920s time frame. If I can find the link again I'll point it out to you, but might give you a place to look as well.

Thanks for the photos. She looks in great shape for being outside since the late thirties.
