The Rocky Local is currently being led by three GP40-2's. The first and third units are patched Rio Grande (UP 1445, ex-DRGW 3129 and UP 1344, ex-DRGW 3121) and the center unit is unpatched Espee GP40-2 7954.

With the work window currently keeping the Moffat closed up the hill, the Rocky Local does not need to worry about meeting any eastbounds as it enters the block on the main at Rocky. Just up ahead, the train will stop and back up the Rocky Spur to deliver its five hoppers.

Even though there is a work window between Tolland and Tabernash in effect until 5pm, the MNYRO is released from Denver, passing by Blue Mountain around 12:30pm. The crew is informed by DS-82 that they will hold the main at Tolland and wait for the main track to be put back in service and then continue west for a recrew on the west side of the divide.

Unfortunately I do not have a lot of shots of tunnel moters (Rio Grande or otherwise) on my website as they had faded fast by the time digital technology came around. However, you can still catch one every once in a while! Such was the case on this day as UP 8810 (ex-SP 8271) is the third unit on the MNYRO-27.
