Remarks & Notes

Rio Grande Alco RS-3 5201 basks in the late afternoon sun at Denver’s Burnham roundhouse. One of five delivered to the road in the summer of 1951, by January, 1962, the 1600-hp road switcher can usually be found on local freights south out of Denver or to the big Rocky Flats plutonium plant in the foothills west of town. It will carry its original six-stripe Aspen Gold-on-black paint scheme to the end, which at he time of this photograph is only four years away.
