Photo ID: 100177 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, May 29, 2003 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Leyden Arvada, CO 2240 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Rio Grande, BNSF These units wear the paint schemes of two of my favorite railroads. The first, obviously, is Rio Grande. However, I have always like Santa Fe, particularly the blue and yellow scheme. Although this Santa Fe SD40-2 has been patched BNSF, it still looks good. The Rio Grande GP40-2 is the lead unit on the eastbound Rocky Local, and the Santa Fe SD40-2 is the third unit on a empty BNSF coal train bound for the Wildcat coal mine in Utah on the Utah Railway.
