A real Rio Grande photo this time...

[tunnel88]

Unfortunately, it's a really poor shot. It's another moving bus shot so...

But it does let you guys know that there is some DRGW 4 axle power left! This is at the north end of UPs original yard- http://clem.mscd.edu/~jimenez/Stuff/drgw9_20_00.jpg

It's impossible to read the number but it's unit 3129. I usually don't see much Rio Grande stuff around here anymore, so this is a rarity.

Can you train the bus driver to stop whenever a locomotive is sighted http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif

Hey tunnel88,

There is more four axel Grande power in the Denver area than in all of Utah. There are three of them in the area. Utah only has two and they are GP40's. Helper has the T-2's though http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif. Just remembered, you guys have all the GP60's.

I wish they would stop for me to take pictures! http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif

Regarding the DRGW GP60s usually they do run together but i haven't seen em like that in about a month. The last time i saw was with the Ski Train heading west with a loooong train in tow... Beautiful sight!

They split up the GP60's when they went into Denver Diesel http://www.trainboard.com/frown.gif. When one is on the MDVPU, the other is on the MPUDV. The only time you see them togather is when they meet half way. One of these days they may be togather again http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif.

How to stop the bus?
Way out in far west Texas, it has been told that bus drivers have been known to leave tire marks when stopping along railroad tracks, when the driver hears the click of a long barrel 44. http://www.trainboard.com/eek.gif They get veeerry patient!
