Photo ID: 110398 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 14, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Forney Museum of Transportation Denver, CO 101 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific The Forney Museum of Transportation in Denver has a lot of great, classic equipment. Trains, cars, motorcycles, and even a few small planes. One of the "crown jewels" of the train collection is UP 4005. It is one of only 25 that were produced between 1941 and 1944. This particular one is "stuffed" meaning it is no longer operable. But it looks pretty great sitting inside the museum, safe and protected from the outside conditions of the world.

The graffiti has all been cleaned off, and the class lights and Mars lights have been restored. I really liked this perspective, looking up toward the number board and nose from the ground inside the Forney Museum. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

To the best of my knowledge, it is one of only two Rio Grande GP30s that have been preserved as Rio Grande units, both being in Colorado. In my very early days of rail photography back in 1997, I actually got a very similar shot (in terms of perspective) of DRGW 3006 when it was working in North Yard!

This is the forever home of Rio Grande GP30 #3006! This unit sat at Burnham for over a decade, waiting for find out what would happen to it. Fortunately, it has a great home, protected from the conditions of the outside world. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
