Always nice to see a familiar face in town! Okay, so it may not be obvious at first glance that this is a familiar face. Until September 1, 2005, this was DRGW 3105. It spent nearly five years running as a patched until. However, it recently made a visit to North Little Rock and got truly assimilated by UP!

Canon City and Royal Gorge, the scenic railroad that runs through the Royal Gorge, owns and operates two F7A's on their roster. These two F7's are CCRG 402 and 403. Prior to being on the scenic lines roster, they were Chicago North Western units. Here, the units wait in North Yard to head south on the Joint Line, still wearing (faded) CNW paint.

Down to its last year of life, DRGW 3002 sits in North Yard in Denver, CO while minors repairs are implemented. This (along with DRGW 3003) was the longest-lasting GP30 on the roster, remaining on UP's active roster until retirement on July 30, 1999. DRGW 3002 was also one of only four Rio Grande GP30's to receive the large letter paint scheme (along with 3001, 3014, and 3027).
