Photo ID: 100956 Date Shot Photo By Friday, September 29, 2006 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Helper Helper, UT 3918 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Rio Grande This shot is quite intentionally dark as I feel it is more artistic this way. I think the highlighting on 5371 - the last active, unpatched Rio Grande unit as of the time of this photo - just makes the picture perfect.

However, considering it was the Rio Grande Heritage Unit (and considering it may never be at DUT again), I took the shot!
