Looks like both units are SD40T-2's, s/b 82xx or 85xx something, going from the class only. The only spotting feature I can see for sure is the two radiator fan access hatches. The noses are kinda shorter but the camera angle makes it tough to call for sure. Numbers are too blurry on my display, lots of weathering as well.

Where any D&RGW tunnels motors re-painted into red and grey in time to let them weather that much?

They appear to be SP 8272 and SP 8539. The light configuration is wrong and the fuel tanks too big for former DRGW locomotives. The first one has the dynamic brake housing that only the SP 8230 series and DRGW's last order of SD40T-2s had.

SP2778, I like your video and especially the fact that you caught 2 box cars with hitch-hikers on board riding like hobos from the past.
