Photo ID: 107264 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, February 17, 2018 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Denargo Wye Denver, CO 1567 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Rio Grande The cab of the GP30 is without a doubt one of my favorites of all time. The round shape gave it such a distinctive look. So thrilled that DRGW 3006 will be preserved at the Forney Museum rather than be scrapped. That means two Rio Grande GP30s have been saved. The other being DRGW 3011 which is now at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
