Steamed up wood burner is owned by Dr. Chuck Brantigan and his wife Kathy. #4 nicknamed 'Klondike Kate' by Kathy Brantigan. New cab panels in place and new pilot beam installed. Adding a little bit authenticity, Klondike Kate 4 had an original Colorado & Southern locomotive whistle installed originally worn by Colorado & Southern 74. The whistle’s current owner graciously loaned Klondike Kate 4 the whistle for the day! First steam locomotive to return to Como in 79 years. Boreas Pass Railroad Day

How much trackage is operable there? Looks like a neat project!

Very little trackage as of August 2017. Maybe 1/4 a mile. Track extends from roundhouse to depot. Plans next year call for more track and a water tank.
