Rice Yard Visitor

An unusual visitor to the C&S roundhouse in Denver was CB&Q 4-8-4 5632. The sparkling Northern was in town for the 1963 NRHS convention. The loco had hauled the Intermountain Limited from Chicago to Lincoln, NE on the 26th of August. The train was then handled by CB&Q diesels the rest of the way to Denver (along with the detour to the Black Hills in South Dakota). 5632 was serviced then made the rest of the trip to Denver solo. This view was taken on the 29th or 30th of August when there was a lull in convention events. 5632 was sharing space at the Rice Yard roundhouse with C&S SD9 827.
