Facelift
Wheeling 775 emerges into perfect morning light with freshly repainted ex-D&RGW SD40T-2 #5412. The unit was shopped in back September after smoking a traction motor, and received a facelift while it waited for 6 new wheelsets to arrive from Ukraine. In addition touching up the nose, the shops added black numberboards (an homage to its original setup) and repainted the flying letters on the long hood. After years of being the ugly twin, the 5412 is now the class of the Rio Grande legacy roster.
This was it's first run leading
