Big Train Tours - Cost-Saving Maintenance Vehicle: Rio Grande Southern Motor No. 6
Welcome to another Big Train Tour at the Colorado Railroad Museum! This month, we’re covering the second of three “Galloping Goose” motorcars displayed at the Museum, all of which were once owned and operated by southwest Colorado’s Rio Grande Southern railroad.
Our subject for this episode is a unique, narrow-gauge, motorized railcar that was designed and built not to haul passengers or freight, but rather to facilitate repair and maintenance work along this railroad’s rugged route. Today, Rio Grande Southern motor number 6 is proudly displayed at the Museum, with a unique history to share!
Join Colorado Railroad Museum Executive Director Paul Hammond as he explores the history behind the Museum's unique railroad collection!

I adore this piece of equipment! How can you not?
I have lived in Duango most of my life and really love all the details you have that helps me understand my surroundings.
As usual the museum had made an excellent cultural tour of this unusual and important piece of railroad history. Thank you again for sharing, I love your Big Train Tours!
Thanks for sharing
So grateful for the timing of our cab ride in the Gallopping Goose #5 there at the Colirafo Railway Museum on Monday June 5, 2017 as the locomotive being ran that day went out of commission and we were given our ride at the end of the day! Fabulous experience!
#6 is absolutely my favorite goose, #2 is appropriately a close second. I have #6 in On3 and HOn3.
kool Glad I got to see all minus #3 at the Goose Fest here boy wish I had the cash to go get the fake Goose #8 😉 totally would do it for 3 foot & Standard Gauge! 😁
