Looks like only three D&RGW tunnel motors will survive the winter :(. 5371 Utah railroad museum, 5401 colorado railroad museum, and one sold to the Utah railway. So only one will remain in service of the three. Hopefully the scrappers they were sold to will spare more for lease service.
Yes it is a great video. Liked the scene where it si running along the Arkansas River through the Royal Gorge. I've been to the Royal Gorge at Canon City, Colorado in 1972 on my way to California. Would like to go back again and take a trip to the bottom fo the gorge.
yah me too the UP has one of the old Tunnel Moters stored out in Cheyenne at the steam shop I saw it a while back while there on an excursion its still in DRGW paint like this lead motor in the begining of the video unpatched no UP yellow on it
Nice exit smoke there.

The Rio Grande had a Great looking logo! When they bought SP they should have kept SP's paint scheme but with the Rio Grande name & logo, not SP.

That is a prime example of SD40T-2s doing what they were designed for.

I love the footage of the Royal Gorge. I wish there was some footage of the Moffat Tunnel line through Winter Park down to Byers Canion.
There's just something about mountain railroading!
