GCRY 2-8-0 #18 - Grand Canyon Rwy |
| Description: |
Resting at the Grand Canyon Lodge is GCRY 2-8-0 #18 . Built in February of 1910 as Lake Superior & Ishpheming #11 (renumbered to 18 in 1924), it served the LS&I, then the -Marquette & Huron Mountain tourist train before reaching the Grand Canyon Rwy. After leading tourist trains to the Grand Canyon for nearly 18 years, it was acquired by the Mount Hood Railroad in Oregon in 2007, who then in turn sold it to the San Luis and Rio Grande Railroad (SLRG) in Colorado. Between 2008 and 2013, No. 18 pulled the SLRG’s tourist trains, but after the railroad filed for bankruptcy, No. 18 was put under receivership. In 2021, the locomotive was purchased by the Maguire Foundation, who reached an agreement with the Colebrookdale Railroad to eventually operate the locomotive on their line in Pennsylvania. This is a Jim Lockart color slide. |

GCRY 2-8-0 #29 - Grand Canyon Rwy |
| Description: |
Here is another 2-8-0 Consolidation type steam locomtoive that served the Grand Canyon Rwy tourist line at Williams, AZ. Built by Alco-Pittsburgh in May of 1906 as Lake Superior & Ishpheming #14, it was renumbered in 1924 to LSI #29. Like its sister LSI #18, it was retired in 1956 and eventually sold in 1963 to the Marquette & Huron tourist train. In 1985 it was sold to a private owner, who in turn sold it to the Grand Canyon Railway (GCR) four years later. GCR returned No. 29 to service in April 1990, and the locomotive pulled the railway's passenger trains between Williams, Arizona and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. As of 2024, No. 29 is out of service, undergoing a boiler inspection. This is a Jim Lockart slide. |
