I rode behind her on GCR but also with my parents on a few steam trips when she was still CB&Q. It was like seeing an old friend when I met her again.

Yup, I rode behind 4960 today and she's looking and sounding great. NOT the whistle in this video however. 4960 will be doing a full run to the canyon and back on the 19th and the Polar Ex. on Nov 6th. SHOW XANTERRA THIS MATTERS! RIDE THE TRAIN!

Maybe she could be brought back again by a special group to operate in Colorado as a CB&Q locomotive again. If it won't run in Grand Canyon, at least bring it back to Colorado.

actually, 29 is on display with 4960 too! (Ive never heared about 583)

I first saw 4960 in 1960, She was wearing the CB&Q logo in those days and was one of 2 steam locomotives CB&Q maintained for excursions (Northern 5632 being the other). I took an excursion from Aurora, IL to Ottawa, IL on her. When I read that GCRR rescued her, I was happy. Now it appears she may need rescuing again.

736berkshire, I want to join get rid of xanterra.
You my friend are the one lucky son of a bitch to see 4960 in action! Excuse my foul language. I was at Williams a week ago and saw her rusting away in shame at the depot. I would do anything to see her steamed up again!

Man I hear you. It was sad to see 4960 rusting away. Corporate attitudes screw up many things and ideas in this country. As a U.S. Army veteran I say that. It's a dis-service for all.
