BB: D&RGW Ski train led by 3 GP9's 1974

Near Plainview, CO (near mp 24) on Jan. 5, 1974, the Grande's westbound Ski Train had this trio of GP9's in the lead. How common were GP9's on the Ski Train?

Very cool!

That must have sounded sweet. And with one of the steam tender s/g cars!

First time I ever saw the GP-9's on passenger trains. Never heard of it either. That's a real "keeper".

AWESOME! It doesn't get any better than this; GP9's on a passenger train in a scenic location.
