The 463 is Steaming Again!
The wait is indeed over as Locomotive 463 is ready to operate again after a decade of inactivity. The Antonito Shop Crew put the finishing touches on the 3½ year rebuild over the winter and she is ready for her inaugural charter!
Ride behind the 463 on its first revenue charter after undergoing restoration which the Friends raised the funding to undertake the project. Be aboard as the “Mudhen” once again steams through the San Juan Mountains of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico.
