BB9: Warbonnet Denver to La Junta ('71)
Author: valmont

BB shot Train #191 @ Denver on Jan. 17, 1971. F's and E8M's were common power.

The last of the E8m's were retired in 1970, and the train's final year brought a real hodgepodge of power.  An AB set of passenger F's was the best-looking alternative, but when a steam generator car was available, anything could pull the train.  Photos exist of single passenger F's, freight F's, and even hood units on this train.

This is South Park Jct. and the track diverging beneath the baggage car towards the camera is the South Park main.  Another good one Vince.
