Case-in-point is this MNYRO which has a solid consist of five EMDs. Granted, only three of them are online. the last two are DIC (Dead In Consist) and are headed for storage in Grand Junction.

Having been raised on Rio Grande, I'm certainly biased towards EMD. A trio of SD70s (one ACe and two Ms) and two units that are headed for storage in Grand Junction lead up the daily MNYRO.

It looks distinctly more yellow than the rest of the unit. Perhaps it was just washed really well or possibly even repainted, but a new cab is also a definite possibility.

One such example is this colorful GATX GP38-2. However, it might be a little while before this guy is doing any switching! It is on its way for storage in Grand Junction.

Funny how quickly things change. At this point, railroads are experiencing a significant decline in traffic and all those SD60Ms have gone right back into storage. This particular SD60M is on its way from Burnham to Grand Junction. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It has been stored at Burnham for quite some time and "taggers" have taken advantage. With Burnham closing nine days after this picture was taken, this is one of the last units being moved from Burnham to Grand Junction for storage. Hopefully the more rural location will decrease the likelihood of additional tagging. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
