D&RGW Coal Climbing Front Range West Of Denver, Co

The hoppers and gondolas look like they are completely covered in black carbon exhaust from the diesel engines.

Not suprising given the amount of tunnels on this line.

I like the Nathan M3 horn on that locomotive

That train featured crossing Simms Street I'm guessing is the same one that runs across Wadsworth Boulevard at about 64th. Those tracks run right behind my friend's backyard there along Alta Vista Drive & it was great seeing trains that close up, especially at night they would just shake everything.

I love those solid sets of Grande Tunnel motors. That's how a coal train on the front range should look!

[silicon212]

Those are SD50s, not tunnel motors.

[BrodyFarmBoy]

But I wonder what an SD50T-2 would look like....MMMMMM

[epistte]

@silicon212 Is the second loco of the first train a tunnel motor?

[silicon212]

@epistte No, it's an SD50.
