D&RGW K-37 Class Narrow Gauge 2-8-2s

K-37 locomotives were originally built as standard gauge Denver & Rio Grande Class 190 units in 1902. During the big renumbering/reclassing of 1924, the units became Class C-41. Between 1928 and 1930, the D&RGW's own Burnham Shops rebuilt these units into the narrow gauge K-37 class.
