A very rare photo which definitely shows either the 75 or
76 ready for scrapping in Lima, Peru, in the early 1960's. Upside down beside
the 2nd driver is the 76's original Brooks steam dome cover, indicating
that this is likely No. 76. The round plate near the third driver is the
actual steam dome lid. The cab support visible is virtually identical to
that of the 74. The origin of this photo is unknown, but it was sent to
the Colorado Railroad Museum years ago with the inscription, "DB&W
engine in Lima, Peru, 1960's." Colorado Railroad Museum Collection
