Description: Even during Rio Grande ownership, the narrow gauge K37 2-8-2's were never used on a regular basis on the SIlverton Branch. After the sale of the Silverton to the late Charles Bradshaw, #497 was overhauled and for a short time did run too Silverton. As it was hard on the track, the D&S later traded operational #497 to the Cumbres and Toltec for derelict K36 #482. #482 was rebuilt and is now in regular service. #497 is in Chama awaiting another overhaul and out of service.
