Go Speed Racer ! ! !
Author: GrandeGold

Utah Railway GP40 #3001 is moving at track speed at sunset just west of Riverton, Utah. The rugged mountain in the distance is Lone Peak of the Wasatch Range.

UR 3001 was built in October 1971 by EMD as the 4040 for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.

Thank you, Don! It was a pan shot standing about 100 feet from the right of way. It's always nice when things work out as planned!

How many of us are willing to admit we didn't know it was carton or that it had a song?

Great shot. Colors work well. Yes, it's always nice when a plan comes together.
