This has to be one of the most photographed engines at the Colorado Railroad Museum, in Golden, CO. I took my HRD version last December and decided to place it into a scene in which the deisel might have been found.
I masked out the noisy background and played around with its exposure, color balance, and sharpness. Then I chose a photo I took near Moab, Utah, to serve as a background.
After compositing the photos I adjusted the overall exposure and saturation. Then I "turned on" the headlights.
These engines powered the California Zephyr and the Rio Grande Zephyr. The D&RGW retired the diesel units in 1984. Southern Pacific Lines donated them to the musem in 1996.
