Locomotive No. 30 and its tender listed in the National State Register of Historic Places at the state level of significance. Boulder received a grant to restore the tender of Locomotive No. 30 to operational status. Operational restoration work was completed on Locomotive No. 30’s tender and it was returned to Central Park. The City of Boulder also decided to apply for a grant to restore the engine. City of Boulder applied for a grant through the State Historical Fund to cosmetically restore the engine. History Colorado approached the city to make the locomotive operational to run on the Georgetown Loop. City and History Colorado entered into an agreement to make the locomo- tive operational. The City of Boulder and History Colorado determined that restoring the locomotive to operational status was feasible. The project was refocused on cosmetic restoration.
