Autumn night in Helper

As exhaust rises into the illumination of a light tower, Rio Grande EMD SD40T-2 No. 5371 rests next to the venerable sand tower at Helper, Utah, on the night of October 23, 2007. By this autumnal date in 2007, the aging Tunnel Motor was the last Denver & Rio Grande Western locomotive on the Union Pacific system in its original unpatched paint and road number.
