Carson & Colorado - Southern Pacific Narrow Gauge
Surviving Equipment
There is still a lot of equipment scattered around. David Coscia had a start
for this list on his web page of
surviving SP equipment. I added to it from the museum web pages I could find
(see my links page), and Cliff Mestel provided information from
Ferrell's book on the SPng. Orin Palmer verified equipment at Laws 6-98.
Some additional information is from Dale Darney.
I'd appreciate any other location info anyone has that isn't on here, or verification of car locations.
