Nostalgia & History > A Freight and the Zephyr Meet in Grand Junction in 1970Date: 11/18/18 18:17 A Freight and the Zephyr Meet in Grand Junction in 1970 Author: MartyBernard Rick Burn caught a meet between a D&RGW freight and Zephyr in August 1970.
1. DRGW 5329 West leads a freight at Grand Junction, CO. DRGW 5329 was an SD45. The other two units also look like SD45s. 2. And here comes Train 18, the Rio Grande Zephyr. DRGW 5761 was an F7A. 3. The meet. 4. And the obs car on the Zephyr. Enjoy, Marty Bernard Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 11/18/18 19:26 by MartyBernard.
