And in all that time, it has probably spent more than 90% of its time running between Denver and Pueblo overnight on the Joint Line. Happened to catch it hanging around the yard during the day, awaiting its night run to Pueblo ten hours later. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This is an interesting unit in that it appears to be a GP40-2 (three radiator fans, etc), there are two exhaust stacks. This shows the un-turbocharged GP38-2 prime mover.
