Detailed Description:
1024 is a native of these parts. Originally built as a Vauclain compound with a large firebox, it was designed to tackle the grades of Raton and Glorieta. Though converted to a simple expansion engine in the 1910s, it's still a remarkably unique engine. There's no fence yet at its new site (though I would suspect it will eventually get one), so it made for a great chance to get a few photos.
