Remarks & Notes

The Rio Grande had full faith in its ability to get freight trains over the road in a timely fashion. Train 87 left Denver about an hour ahead of the Rio Grande Zephyr, and didn’t expect delays to the varnish. Here 87, powered by four GP40 variants, pours it of as it rolls through Glenwood Springs, just minutes ahead of the RGZ. Train 17’s extended station stop will allow 87 to rebuild its lead.
