This view of the front of DRGW 5401 at the Colorado Railroad Museum really caught my eye. Not only does the spartan cab of the Tunnel Motor look fantastic, but see the Rio Grande fly letters to the right on a steam tender and to the left on GP30 DRGW 3011 is just great!

I noticed they got marker lights put in (UP apparently replaced them with steel plate cutouts). Your photo showing it shortly after the move shows the plate cutouts.  
I absolutely agree it's beautiful to see the standard and narrow gauge Rio Grandes all in one photo! Great capture!
