The other group out running a holiday train on Saturday was the
Pueblo Railway Museum
, with their Pueblo Express runs. The train consisted of Colorado & Wyoming 103, along with two cabooses, making the short run between the museum's tracks behind the depot and the end of the line, over near the Riverwalk behind the old power plant.
