Roster shot of the two Rocky Mountaineer GP40-3s as they make their way west on the Moffat. Looks like the crew is likely performing a little training in advance of the 2023 season. The two units are making a light run west to Glenwood Springs.

I caught wind of a possible Rocky Mountaineer movement westbound and was hoping to possibly catch the full trainset. As it turns out, I had to settle for just the pair of GP40-3s. Most likely, the crew is making a training run west to Glenwood Springs. Even though it was only the two units, it was different from something orange, yellow, or Amtrak!

Two Rocky Mountaineer GP40-3s...the two based in Denver for the "Rockies to the Red Rocks" train...emerge as light power from Tunnel 1. the units are likely part of crew training in advance of the start of 2023 season that kicks off in April.
