The three Rio Grande GP60's, delivered in May 1990, were delievered as the result of an insurance claim on two tunnel motors (5402 and 5408) that were wrecked on Tennessee Pass. The GP60s were delivered according to Espee [GP60] standards, thus they did not have any class lights or MARS lights.

The white stripe that runs along the side of 3154 was a part of an experiment to try to increase visibility of the unit from the side at grade crossing.

In 1998, the Ski Train had not yet acquired their F40PH's from Amtrak. Over this summer, they borrowed the Rio Grande GP60's (even though 3156 had been repainted to UP 5702 less than a month ago). Here, the Ski Train sits at Union Station preparing for a trip west tomorrow.
