Description

Press release from the Colorado Railroad Museum: March 18, 2021 It's #TBT (Throwback Thursday)! It's #TBT (Throwback Thursday)! Today we have home movie footage from Museum volunteer George Lawrence. George, still an active volunteer, often filmed at the Museumin the mid-70s on a handheld 8mm camera. Ken Barrows, affectionately nicknamed "Father Goose" was able to get Rio Grande Southern "Galloping Goose" No. 2 running. This motivated the volunteers & staff to move the goose from it's disconnected display track onto the main line. This press release was produced by the Colorado Railroad Museum.
