The 473 steam locomotive
D&SNG No. 473 is an outside-frame K-28 class 2-8-2 “Mikado” type narrow gauge steam locomotive. It was built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO)’s Schenectady, NY works in 1923 for the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&RGW). It was part of an order for ten locomotives that would become the K-28 class.
The K-28s served across the D&RGW’s 3ft gauge system, in both passenger, and freight service. Today the 473 can be seen in action at the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (D&SNG) in Durango (Colorado) as a museum heritage steam locomotive.
