John Harper; owner of the D&SNG, is not sure when the two diesels will go into service, but he said they are planned to lead new runs from Rockwood to Cascade that will begin next year. Along with yard work on the D&SNG.

My speculation: He is doing this for a “Plan B” if one of the lawsuits goes against the D&SNG he will be able to keep the railroad running. The D&SNG is the main business in Durango & Silverton, Colorado. There are no plans to phase out steam power at this time.

Below are two examples of locomotives built by: Motive Power & Equipment and Equipment Solutions in South Carolina. I have no idea what two locomotives the D&SNG has ordered.
