Posted by Glenn Leasure on November 18, 2013  Actually, the second loco is not an ex-Conrail GP40, but rather a DRGW GP40-2 that has been repainted . Posted by Mike Danneman on November 18, 2013  Glenn; I wonder if the 3112 was repainted by Mid-America Car in Kansas City like the rest of the former Conrails… the color of orange paint (and numberboard-style) sure makes it look like it was. Posted by Chris Nuthall on November 19, 2013  Isn't it on the way down the grade from TP to Minturn? Posted by Mike Danneman on November 19, 2013  Chris, you are correct! I checked my notes, and this is a photo of the local returning to Minturn, going down the grade. Posted by Glenn Leasure on November 20, 2013  Pretty sure that's what happened. I have not seen those style number boards on *any* locos except the Mid-America repaints.
