Nostalgia & History > Fun With Black & WhiteDate: 07/08/05 12:51 Fun With Black & White Author: GrandeGold Rio Grande train #127 has a clean SD50 on the point just west of Provo, Utah. In about four additional miles the train will pass the giant steel mill at Geneva Works...
 Date: 07/08/05 12:56 The RGZ Looks Good in B&W Author: GrandeGold Of course the RGZ looks great in color, but how about B&W? Here the train is departing the small town of Thistle, about 2.5 miles west of Rio crossovers. F9 #5771's interesting pilot, shaped similarly to that of an E-unit, was replaced out of need by the folks at Burnham after a collision with a dump truck destroyed the original beyond repair...
