The cranes will place DRGW 5401 on the panel track and it will be rolled across the bridge. The cranes will then cross the bridge and continue carrying the unit to the museum.

Sure, DRGW 5401 (patched as UP 9871) is not operating under its own power, but with an SD40-2 on either side of it, it was not too hard to imagine!

In 2004, it led a work train from Phippsburg, CO to North Yard. It was also one of the last four Tunnel Motors to depart Helper, UT. Fitting that its brother (DRGW 5371, also one of the last four) was preserved and now live in Ogden, UT. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
