This is a picture that had to come sooner or later. It is very likely that this will be the last picture I ever post on my website (in the 21st Century anyway) of an unpatched Rio Grande unit on a mainline (instead of in a museum). DRGW 5371 heads north on the MNYNP-08 to Cheyenne, where it will presumably be retired....farewell old friend!

At the south switch of La Salle, the northbound MNYNP-08 has a clear signal as it continues to charge north toward Cheyenne. Once in Cheyenne, the sixth unit (DRGW 5371) will be set out, presumably so it can be officially retired. Where it goes from there, nobody but UP is certain for now!
