It's about time I get down into building standard-cab diesels starting off with the EMD SD40T-2 in a Rio Grande livery. Original SD40-2 design by CraftyFoxe.

Highball "Rye-O" by Erie Limited Via Flickr: 5360 leads a three-pack of Rio Grande tunnel motors west out of Red Narrows on the Provo Sub east of Thistle, UT. The next set of signals protect the crossovers at "Rio" and I distinctly remember hearing crews call "clear signal Rye-O" as they approached. This hot Z train carried RBLs full of Coors beer on the head end, ahead of the intermodal traffic. There doesn't appear to be one bit of graffiti on those RBLs! It was a nice touch for the crew to use the gyralight on the low nose. I imagine not many of them were still serviceable in the early aughts.

Rio Grande Westbound (Joe McMillan on Flickr)

Rio Grande 5506, 5508 and 5345 (SD50-SD50-SD40-2) round the curve into sunshine at the west end of Clay siding with westbound manifest train DVROM (Denver to Roper, Utah). The city of Denver, about 21 rail miles away, looms in the distance.

This photo was taken on February 8, 1997, during that interesting period after the UP take over of the Rio Grande and SP when locomotives of the latter two railroads were commonplace, especially in the Denver area.

I also love how this is with one of the two A-B-A sets of PAs the Grande had. I love the PAs so much
