Eric and gang, I wish it was April 1st because these photos would be perfect for tricking somebody [for a few seconds anyway ]. Enjoy...!

Hey Ken. Thanks for posting the pics. They're awesome looking units. Ya think there might have been a Grande fan involved with W&LE?

Well I am shure you all know by now that they have SD40T-2's in DRGW paint, with SMALL and I mean small WE below the cab. Sorry about the quality, bad cloud day, but couldent pass up.

I dunno Eric; isn't D&RGW one of the fallen flag roads owned by U.P.? I worder if the W&LE had to pay a "licensing fee" to keep the lawyers away ...

TC - that's an excellent collection of hopper shots! Of course they're in desperate need of some weathering... And CSXT that's a pretty good photo of the tunnel motor, clouds or not.

Cool pics everyone!


Tom, those hoppers shots are awesome. Ken's right though, they do need a weathering job.


Also, I'm glad to know that the SD40T2 will be in Grande paint for the foreseeable future.
