The Colorado Springs switcher sits outside the Springs depot. UP 5245 is a special GP40-2. It was the FIRST Rio Grande unit ever repainted. This is formerly DRGW 3122, which was repainted in mid-1997.

The Colorado Springs switcher on this day was a Rio Grande GP40-2. Coupled behind the unit is a Rio Grande caboose #01513. The caboose was, unfortunately, so badly covered in graffiti that I did not include a picture of it.

One of only 40 Espee B40-8's was on the point of the MPUDV on this day in the summer of 1997. After some switching in the Springs, the train prepairs to head north to North Yard.
