A Grande Sunset - a photo on Flickriver

A Grande Sunset

            It is March 2002 and the UP merger is 6 years in the past. The remaining operating Rio Grande units continue to dwindle. As it has been in years past Western Colorado and Utah are a hotbed of what remains. As I have on many occasions during the last 6 years I head west from my Colorado Springs home and hope that UP hasn't changed things up too much since my last visit. Luck is with me as I catch the Montrose Local departing Grand Junction with Rio Grande GP40-2s 3097 and 3109 as the sole power on this days local. Worthy of an all day chase the result of which is what you see here. As the sun sets on an all day chase to Montrose and back to Roubideau the last two shots before we were overcome with darkness. What a fantastic day of photography and Grande memories.
