As someone that was raised on Rio Grande in the 1980s, spartan cab EMD units hold a special place for me. So, I love getting shots of the Rocky Mountaineer which, when not borrowing UP SD70Ms, runs with EMD spartan cab units. Here, RMRX 8600 knocks down the signal at east Eisele (Clay). The train just completed a slow order and is throttling up to accelerate back up to track speed.
