After the Rubicon’s retirement, workmen began refurbishing it for the Carillon Park historical collection. Here they are seen removing half a century’s accumulation of paint.
The Rubicon is shown as it traveled the last few feet of its long career. It was moved into its permanent Carillon Park home on July 16, 1962.
On August 20, 1962, the Engine House at Carillon Park was opened with informal ribbon-cutting ceremonies. Shown above are several of the guests inspecting the refurbished locomotive.
