A few years ago, this was DRGW 3121. It hasn't changed too much...it even still has its class lights in place. UP has kept the unit in Colorado, most recently working in Pueblo. Here, it is being moved to La Salle for switching. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The MNYNP-08 is over 7,300 feet long and it won't fit in the siding without blocking crossings in town. Meanwhile, DRGW 5371 sits as the sixth unit, looking pretty darn good while it waits!
