The long wait to see Locomotive 463 operating again is almost over. After a decade of inactivity and approximately two and a half years undergoing a rebuild the 463 will be the star of a pre-season charter over the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. Ride behind the 463 on what will be its first revenue charter after undergoing restoration which was an undertaking of the Friends.
