The yellow-orange paint that Rio Grande used on its engines up until the mid-1980s was referred to as "Aspen Gold", and this is why! Rio Grande's paint scheme looked mighty fine among the changing aspens. Nearly three decades after the end of Rio Grande, a BNSF manifest pulls down the main at Tolland. The train will take the siding at East Portal to meet the eastbound California Zephyr.
