That's wild how they rock back in fourth like that ...

That track is really sketchy! It needed replacing at the time but the SP didn't want to spend the money!

An exciting chapter from our movie "Tennessee Pass from Start to Finish" available at www.cspmovies.com

Thanks Charles! I always look forward to your postings. Rio Grande is at the top of the list.

[@charlessmileyvideos]

Yes Jeffpierce we agree with you 100%. The Rio Grande was one of our all time favorites for many reasons. Always special to see the orange and black!

Rio Grande never had any SD45 tunnel motors, that was Southern Pacific and Cotton Belt.

Some of them drgw SD40t-2s work on the ALL line....some rebuilt to BB status on FCA

[@charlessmileyvideos]

Yes, the SD40t-2s were really work horses on the 2.2% grades with the coal trains. Most of the Rio Grande engines were PTC equipped with Positive Traction Control specially designed for big time mountain railroading!

[@ShawnCalay]

@@charlessmileyvideos they are still doing it...only one so far has been scrapped in South America due to a derailment....ALL #9511, not sure what the DRGW number was
