The last two units are Alaska Railroad GP49's, being transported by BNSF to their new owner in Houston, TX. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Interesting that 5371 would be the final Rio Grande unit left in the world, after 5771 (a single-digit difference!) was the final F9A to be retired off the roster 24 years prior in 1984.

The last-remaining (unpatched) Rio Grande unit on UP's roster crosses over the bridge (still lettered for Rio Grande) at York Street on the Belt Industrial Lead. 5371 is headed toward Cheyenne, more than likely to be retired.

This is a shot looking in between two buildings near the control point at Broadway. Even though the buildings obscure a lot of the engine, there is no armour yellow in the shot!

The unit was idling, although it would not load (so it couldn't work to pull the train). other than the missing number boards, not a bad sight at all!

The train has been having some rear-end device issues, and it is also waiting for a meeting with a southbound coal empty coming off the Greeley line. There is a lot of power for the train as it is 130 cars and over 7,300 feet long! Note that DRGW 5371 is the 6th unit, being moved to Cheyenne, most likely for retirement.

It is becoming increasingly hard to find one, and I was lucky to have stumbled across SP 319 as the second unit on the CNANX-01. The train came from the North Antelope Mine and is now waiting for its crew near Fox Junction. It is ultimately headed for the Nixon power plant near Colorado Springs.
