Dropping down the front range with a loaded coal train, month old Rio Grande SD50's 5514, 5510 and 5507 approach the west end of Leyden, Colorado siding on October 13, 1984.
The seventeen SD50's (5501-5517), built in September, 1984, were the last six axle locomotives purchased by the Rio Grande for coal and mixed freight service.
Coming off the Craig Branch, the train will soon arrive at Rio Grande's North Yard in Denver for service, a power swap and a crew change before an afternoon departure down the Rio Grande-Santa Fe "Joint Line".

It can be readily recognized by the short brown hairs on the exterior of the cup. Along Brainard Lake Rd. Roosevelt National Forest. Near Ward, Boulder Co., Colo.
