Posted by Vic. Louie on March 2, 2009  Nice shot Chris. Posted by Paul OGara on March 2, 2009  20 loco's? That has to be the biggest I have ever heard of! I love the way the DRGW relies on GP40s. Posted by Mike Lockwood on March 2, 2009  Such a shame it's gone (the Rio Grande and Tennessee Pass line). Today's railroading just doesn't seem to have the character it once did, as exemplified by this shot. Thanks for sharing, Chris. Posted by Luke Ansell on March 2, 2009  What a sight this train would've been to see ascending Tennessee Pass. I agree, what a shame this line no longer handles traffic, but one day, there will be trains. Posted by Taylor Curry-Moskal on March 2, 2009  I agree with Mike. Character is few and far between these days and not just in railroading. Excellent shot. Posted by Ian McAlister on March 2, 2009  Question is...in Leadville, how much of the 55,950 HP was actually being generated? If I'm not mistaken, that's over 10,000 feet up. Are the GP40-2 Turbo-charged, or Turbo-normalized? Posted by Maddie Farnsworth on March 2, 2009  20 locomotives, wow. Through the rockies, not around them! Posted by CaliforniaRailroader on March 3, 2009  Tennessee Pass is not "gone", it's just inactive, and there is word the UP is looking into reactivating it.
