UP 1989 Colorado Springs 18 Sep 09

            The UP 1989 sits in the yard in Colorado Springs on a beautiful late summer morning.  The Rio Grande Heritage Unit was in town for the 2009 Rio Grande Modeling and Historical Society's convention that was taking place that week.

This unit being here was a total surprise.  I had not seen anything on the 'net about it being in town, but I spotted it as I was flying a training sortie to Ft. Carson and happened to look down and saw it sitting at the old depot in downtown C-Springs!  Fortunately it was still in town the following morning when I had some free time and the sun was shining.  I had been in Colorado about 9 months at this point and had not had an opportunity to knock this unit off my bucket list...luckily things came together this particular morning in almost-perfect conditions!
