I NEVER thought I would again see the day when SEVEN geeps could be found on the point of a train. It happen on this day though, when the Rocky Local was powered by three Espee GP40(M)-2s, three Grande GP40-2's, and a UP GP39-2. Black and white just seemed right for this picture, as it looks like it could have come straight out of the early 1980's!!!

A single SP AC400CW (#354) is the sole DPU on this westbound empty coal train. It is becoming harder and harder to find unpatched SP power.
