Being raised on Rio Grande, I absolutely love any time there is an opportunity to see an EMD spartan cab leading on the Moffat. Particularly when it is a model that Rio Grande owned, such as this SD45 Canyon Spirit unit. Now, granted this is not a true SD45 as the 20-cylinder prime mover has been removed and replaced with a 16-cylinder prime mover. The unit is classified as an SD40M-2 now, but it still looks like an SD45!

In the 2025 season, RMRX 8600 was entirely blue in its lease colors. This season, however, it has been painted in full Rocky Mountaineer (Canyon Spirit) colors. Looks very good on the point of the train. With the GP40-3s still out of service due to the accident in Rifle last May, UP 4073 is filling in on the train as well.
