Nostalgia & History > Ok, some Rio GrandeDate: 04/25/06 01:38 Ok, some Rio Grande Author: drew1946 Ok I found some Rio Grande--alas it is in California after the Grande entered into matrimonial bliss with the SP. D&RGW GP40 3102 passing the then closed and forlorn SP depot in Stockton in April of 1992.

These are the 23 units DRGW bought secondhand from Conrail, the paint shop in Kansas City applied a much Redder Orange than what EMD put on Factory Built EMD units. Nathan Z.
