This was the segment of Rio Grande trackage that had the dual guage.

[dale833128]

That whistle will be used on C&O 2716 when my brother restores C&O 2716 for his railroad in the future.

It needs to be rebuilt do to government restrictions.

That is a great shot you took there! It looks very professional! I really like the part when the steam train stops at the station, then toots its whistle.
