Rio Grande Ski Train headed by the SD70 heritage

[beavercreek]

Union Pacific repainted SD70ACe 6 diesels in the colours of the 'fallen flags' that they had absorbed along the way ( Missouri Pacific, Western Pacific, Missouri-Kansas-Texas, Chicago and North Western, Southern Pacific and of course, my beloved Rio Grande).

I was putting in a sound system into the USA Trains SD70 heritage and was also looking at the new issue of 'Trains' magazine. At the back it had a great photo of the SD70 heading the ski train in 2007. Unfortunately the 'Ski Train' that ran from Denver to the Winterpark ski resort does not run anymore and all the rolling stock was sold to Algoma Central Railway Inc, part of the Canadian National RR.

This is a shot of the USA Trains version of the SD70 but the USAT version is the SD70Mac not actually the one that it should be..the SD70ACe, the main difference being the big flared radiator intakes that should be on the USAT SD70.

The following ones are of the real SD70 ACe with the flared radiators that are missing on the USAT version

Original colour scheme.

0420 hrs at Salt Lake City on the Zephyr..... heading on to Rio Grande territory (well, actually, that day we were diverted through Ogden, Echo Canyon, and across Wyoming and down to Denver, hence the pilot engine).
