Paying a visit to EBT #6

In August 2006, Frank Shoop and I made the trip from Pennsylvania to Colorado with a stop in Indiana to visit EBT #6. The purpose of the trip was to visit the Durango & Silverton, Cumbres & Toltec, and Georgetown Loop, plus the Colorado RR Museum. I shot 35mm slides during the trip and, as you may have heard, about half of them were destroyed during processing. Frank has kindly provided his digital images for this Web site.

	Of the many locomotives at the WVRR, I thought this former SOO SD10 was the most interesting. Now this paint job would be something to model! Photo by Frank Shoop Jr.
