Four Axle Fever
Doug Harrop Photography • August 9, 1974
With a set of helpers shoving hard on the rear, Rio Grande train 79 meets a set of light helpers as it claws westward through Price Canyon between Lynn and Kyune.
Even with 26 SD45s on the roster, D&RGW was largely a four axle powered railroad until 1974 when 73 SD40T-2s joined the roster, followed by 17 SD50s in 1984.
