#90 was built by Baldwin in 1924 for the Great Western Railway of Colorado, originally hauling up to 50 cars of sugar beets. This locomotive also earned its reputation as one of the best preserved steam locomotives in America, the "Big Strong Engine" from the GWR.

I met #90 again since 2006 on July 29th, 2017, and I was watching her getting ready to depart. Just when she began to move, I saw this old guy putting coins on the tracks, and her breaks locked that instant. I even heard the couplers bang into each other. Luckily, no one was hurt, but Ole 90 must've been pretty angry afterward! XD

One time I saw this parent being oblivious, almost got herself and her kid killed, ran right in front of #89 when she was coming back into the station, person got told off, and I think she may have even been removed from the premises, never saw #89 come slamming to a halt, broke some plates in the presidents car, I saw them on the floor.
