Steam & Excursion > Royal Gorge Route 403 & 1503 F-Units at Parkdale, CODate: 02/28/25 02:56 Royal Gorge Route 403 & 1503 F-Units at Parkdale, CO Author: cozephyr The Royal Gorge Route 403, F7A, and 1503, F7B, returned to service after almost 4-years absence (stored at Cañon City, Colorado). Train was running along the Arkansas River on a delightful spring like day (temperatures in the mid-60's) near Parkdale, CO, 27 February 2025.
The other CRRX F-unit, 402, is out of service at Cañon City, Colorado.

After the merger, UP put them in storage at Cheyenne. I'm not sure when they went to the Royal Gorge Scenic
