Denver & Rio Grande Western D&RGW 3094 3140 CMNW 3006 2037 SB Manifest Passing Former C&S/ATSF Rice Yard Denver Colorado
Rolling along newly relocated mainline tracks in the late afternoon sun, a southbound Denver & Rio Grande Western manifest led by an interesting set of four axle power passes the abandoned former C&S/Santa Fe Rice Yard in Denver’s Platte Valley. September 21, 1987
Moving through an area that will see vast amounts of re-development in the years to come, today's mixed freight is led by Rio Grande’s first GP40-2, the 3094, built in April, 1972 and GP40 3140, (ex Conrail, ex PC 3128 built in August, 1968).
Trailing in consist are two unusual visitors to the Denver area- Chicago, Missouri & Western GP40 3006, (ex Western Pacific 3523 built in August, 1970) and CMNW GP38 2037, (ex Conrail, ex PC 7797 built in October, 1969).
