I just discovered that last week the History Channel's show Modern Marvels did a piece on the Strassburg RR.
Particularly interesting, the showed a locomotive in the shops...receiving a new driver tire. Although they don't say so in the clip, it's ex-Rio Grande Southern #20...one of the finest looking 4-6-0s ever built. She's currently undergoing an overhaul thanks to a $600,000 donation. She's owned by the Colorado Railroad Museum...which has a very impressive collection. #20 was built in 1898 for the Florence and Cripple Creek RR.
I found it on youtube...it is titled: Modern Marvels the Strassburg Railroad.
