Not Bad for Starters |
| Description: |
First shot of the weekend! NYS&W train SU-99 accelerates west out of Deposit, NY, attacking the Gulf Summit grade. The train had been delayed and so we were able to catch this usually nocturnal move in morning light. |

The Last One |
| Description: |
She's been well-documented, but it's worth it! This is the last un-patched, original paint D&RGW locomotive on the UP Roster. The 'Grande is by far my favorite railroad, and I have many more slides of the last engines running around--I finally got one posted! |

Still Earning Her Keep |
| Description: |
D&RGW SD40T-2 5371 leads the Dirt Train upgrade from Mounds, Utah, towards the ECDC Environmental dump site at Sunnyside, Utah. This was it--the last time I saw this engine earning her keep, the last time I was able to witness an engine of my favorite road, unbastardized, running live. She was retired in March 2008. |

The star of Saturday's show this year was a Fallen Timber train led by 4 clean RJ Corman units, including the 5372, an ex-D&RGW SD40T-2. Nice to see an old friend doing what she was built to do. |

One of the First Scans... |
| Description: |
I love the Rio Grande. This is former D&RGW 5413, now WE (Wheeling & Lake Erie) 5413, still in full Rio Grande paint. I didn't know the W&LE had any of the Grande's T-2's, so it was quite a surprise to see it in the fuel line in Bethlehem, PA, on NS. Larry Parsons, CEO of the W&LE, is an old Rio Grande guy who runs a tight ship. This is a detail shot of the rear headlight...pretty distinctive! Taken with permission. |
