They say every picture tells a story, and this one surely does. Appropriately, the 5371 was clean, on the point, and throwing a little exhaust into the ozone to celebrate his own retirement. Thanks for the notification, James.

Great photo, great caption, well done. Just remember, there is still the W&LE.

A sad day for this D&RGW fan. Thanks 5371 for all the memories. Thanks also James for a wonderful photo.

It was a very kind and touching farewell to 5371, James! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks, James for posting this excellent photo of 5371's last revenue run. Looking at your photo and reading your remarks actually brought a tear to my eye. *sigh* I was able to capture 5371 while she was at both Roper and Helper. Unfortunately, both pics were taken with a low-res cell phone, so I doubt I'll be posting them anywhere.

It's actually in Ogden, Utah.
