Western 296 was built in 1954 for the Union Pacific as it's #296 and
served the UP until June of 1985 when it was sold to the GW. #296
last served the GW as the railroad's Longmont switch engine from 1998 to
2003. GP9 locomotives, such as #296, were used by the Union Pacific
to operate trains on the Boulder branch. GW 296 was donated by Ben
Mesander and Glenn Pearson in May of 2003. |
