Goose Fest
Saturday, June 16, 2012
well I should of posted this June 1st but silly me I forgot 
Anyway I'll be going to the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, CO for their Goose Fest
which are those Galloping Geese that the Rio Grande Southern used on their line before abandonement
I watched a video of a restored Goose on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic (C&TS) They got 1mpg uphill & 3mpg downhill Averaging 2mpgs! So not exactally fuel efficent 
So here is link to the Fest
