Its journey across the desert complete, the eastbound California Zephyr is now approaching Grand Junction where it will receive a fresh crew (engineer and conductor) for the trip to Denver.

The Landmark Local has a clear signal to continue west out of Fruita and a very clear track ahead! The local sometime heads out into the Utah Desert as far as Cisco, but on this Tuesday, its switching duties won't take it further then Mack, CO.

This GP40-2 is without a doubt my personal favorite on Union Pacific's roster. Why? It was the very first Rio Grande unit (GP40-2 or otherwise) to be patched and added to UP's roster. UP 5234 started life as DRGW 3122. In 1997, the unit was given a patch and renumbered to UP 5245. Here, ten years later, the unit still retains the same number and leads the Landmark Local west through Fruita on its way to Mack for some switching.
