Operating on these tracks is a number of former D&RGW K-36 2-8-2 Mikado steam locomotives, working just as much as they did when built in 1925. As a celebration of the K-36 centennial in 2025, a number of events operated to showcase the locomotives as they once ran in revenue service as late as 1968. With grades of up to 4%, helpers were often needed to Cumbres Pass. Its close to original steam freight action one can find.
