SP Power |
| Description: |
Two ex-SP AC4400's sit on the WYE at Avondale, and this is the same WYE used to take cars and locomotives to the Transportation Technology Center. Not sure why they were here, but they were attached to an IC flat car. A few days later, driving by I saw them again and this time there was some UP power at Avondale as well. I suspect the UP power was to bring cars to Ordway for storage, too bad I didnt catch that move. |

| Title: |
The Grande |
| Description: |
"Rio Grande" is lit up on the side of UP 1445, ex DRGE 3129. This, I think is just a cool shot. I added "DRGW 3129" in the locomotives column because I don't see a patch in this picture ;) |
