A roster shot of a recent acquisition of the Denver and Rock Island from Nebraska Central. This is, I believe, a former Santa Fe GP7. If anyone has more information on the unit, feel free to leave a comment!

Denver Rock Island (DRIR) Denver Rock Island
The Denver and Rock Island is a short line railroad in Denver. The railroad has fewer than ten units on the roster, and fewer than ten miles of track! However, the railroad is generally very busy as a lot of customers are located on its rails. Many customers found the DRIR to be more responsive to demand than UP or BNSF. Here, we see a few of the railroads units. DRIR 417 is an NW2. DRIR 88 is a GP9R. DRIR 1083 is an SW1500. The last unit is a recent acquisition from Nebraska Central, and is a GP7.
