The round shape gave it such a distinctive look. So thrilled that DRGW 3006 will be preserved at the Forney Museum rather than be scrapped. That means two Rio Grande GP30s have been saved. The other being DRGW 3011 which is now at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
