Photographers' Gallery Modern Day on the Rio Grande Nathan Holmes' Photos News Photos Saturday out around La Junta, CO

So it's not the former Rio Grande system, but it does have an ex-DRGW unit in it (NREX 3075 was rebuilt from DRGW 3075). Also seen is an Indian Railways GT46PAC headed for the Transportation Test Center outside Pueblo.

Not train related, but here's the National Guard, rolling through Rocky Ford with more hay for cattle trapped by the recent blizzards. That's an Oshkosh Truck Company HEMETT, by the way. Cool vehicles.

And our final look at the local, at North Avondale, CO. The light would fail before I reached Pueblo, so there was little point on waiting around for more shots.
