CBQ 4-8-4 #5629
Description:
Built in West Burlington, Iowa in June 1940, No. 5629 was one of 15 engines—numbered 5621 to 5635—that constituted the last new class of steam locomotives. Designed for fast freight and heavy passenger service, No. 5629 began its career on the Chicago to Denver mainline. It was transferred to the Twin Cities in the mid-1940s and made its way back west in 1950, hauling freight between Lincoln, Nebraska and Denver, Colorado. After being converted from burning coal to oil, it was stored in Lincoln and served as a stationary boiler, providing heat to the Lincoln station during a renovation in the winter of 1961. On August 30, 1963, CB&Q Vice President J.J. Alms presented No. 5629 to the Colorado Railroad Museum Rail fan Jim Lockart took this color slide on one of his trips to the museum.

It was originally named "Cumbres" and wore road number 406. Loco #406 was primarily used in helper service. In 1923, it was renumbered 346, and in 1924, it was fitted with a new boiler. 346 was wrecked on Kenosha Pass after the locomotive rolled over on a curve. 346 was rebuilt in the Denver shops. 346 was sent to the Montezuma Lumber Company in 1947, to be used on the Rio Grande Southern just outside of Durango. When the mill burned down, the engine was no longer needed. Bob Richardson, one of the museum founders, bought 346 in 1950, and managed to get it to Alamosa, where he placed the locomotive at the Narrow Gauge Motel. Rail fan Jim Lockart too this nice color roster slide.

CBQ Business Car #96
Description:
Barney and Smith built No. 96 in 1886 for the Chicago, Burlington & Northern (CB&N) as No. B-99. The car was renumbered Chicago, Burlington & Quincy (CB&Q) No. 90 in 1902. And, in 1906, it was completely rebuilt by CB&Q and received its final number—No. 96. Retired in 1962, No. 96 was sold to the Intermountain Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society in Denver. The Chapter ran the car over 25,000 miles, attaching it as an excursion car to the Denver & Rio Grande, Union Pacific and other railroads. With the introduction of Amtrak, No. 96 no longer met the mechanical standards of modern railcars, and in 1972 was placed permanently on display at the Colorado Railroad Museum. In 2006, the Intermountain Chapter donated No. 96 to the Museum, where today it is used to entertain guests and host small meetings.
