Rio Grande GP40 No. 3131 and GP40-2 No. 3130 pull the Midvale Tramp through West Jordan, Utah on a perfect June 12, 1998 morning in rural Salt Lake County.

 

Rio Grande 3131 can be found today on the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway roster, wearing number 302 and a paint scheme that mirrors D&RGW livery, if not the actual Rio Grande paint job.

 

This former D&RGW right of way is very busy in the present, hosting Utah Transit Authority light rail service by day and Savage Bingham & Garfield and Utah Railway local freights by night.
