If Rio Grande was still around in 2009, it might look something like this! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I like this shot as it gives Leyden a classic rural feel, when in reality it is surrounded by suburbia now! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Three passenger trains at Union Station. Well...not quite. The P42 on the far left side of the picture is sitting alone on a stub track. It is used as a backup unit, should it be needed. The focus of the picture is the eastbound California Zephyr. On the right side of the picture is Disney's A Christmas Carol Tour Train, preparing to depart for Salt Lake City.
