Nostalgia & History > Sixty Saturday: DRGW/SPDate: 01/25/20 21:06 Sixty Saturday: DRGW/SP Author: jgilmore Here's three shots of the same train led by 4 GP60s, 2 each Grande and SP. Train is westbound through Fraser and further west in the early 90s. Were the DRGW GP60s the last new power purchased by the Grande? JG
