The Class 47 units were the largest and fastest narrow gauge Ten-wheelers to roam D&RG narrow gauge rails. They were acquired to pull passenger trains over the narrow gauge mainlines. Of the dozen D&RG Class 47 / D&RGW Class T-12 Ten-Wheelers (4-6-0s) built, two examples survive today:

  • 168 - Preserved in Antlers Park, Colorado Springs, CO
  • 169 - Preserved in a park just north of US 160 on the east side of Alamosa, CO
