You'll get this location pretty quickly, but I don't have any other info.

That FT B-unit should help with the date.
Beautiful shot.

Looks like SLC around 53 or 54 . Heres a note from Ulta Rails. "D&RGW 5481 was wrecked on 5 December 1950 at Gore, Colo.; wreck damage repaired by EMD, completed with an F7A car body in March 1951; first unit painted in the new gold and silver with four black stripes paint scheme. (F7As 5701-5764 and F7Bs 5702-5753 were the first new units in the new scheme, delivered in June 1952.)

makes sense single stripe when they went to it , look at the cars in the back they look early 50,s and earlier 3 stripe cars makes an interesting confluence of changing times . The beginning of a new era , I think your spot on
