Nostalgia & History > FoggFile: CB&Q & DRGW power on trains @ Rocky, CODate: 12/14/12 05:26 FoggFile: CB&Q & DRGW power on trains @ Rocky, CO Author: valmont Don't have a date for this shot that Fogg took @ Rocky, CO. Despite taking many pictures along the Grande's Big Ten/Plainview area back when these 2 RR's still existed, I don't believe I ever shot any Q power there.

it was said this was short lived as grande units had sprays set up to cool their units, and q's didn't plus grande units didn't have cab signals Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 12/14/12 07:15 by dan. Date: 12/14/12 07:15 Re: FoggFile: CB&Q & DRGW power on trains @ Rocky, CO Author: WAF dan Wrote:

That clean Q Chinese Red scheme looks superb in the low-angle evening light.

The 1970s-1980s experience on ATSF and WP in Northern California with 1960s EMD GPs has no bearing on how they performed on the Q in the 1960s. By the 1970s and 1980s, the ex-Q GPs became bell ringers on the BN as well. Best regards, Rob L. |
