SLRG 203 rests at Alamosa, CO on January 10, 2009.

San Luis Rio Grande SD40T-2 203 sits at Alamosa, CO on January 10, 2010. This locomotive is sitting on its former home rails as it was originally DRGW tunnel motor 5373. Six axle units were never used on this section of the DRGW, but might do better with the stiff La Veta grades than do 4 axle unit traction motors.
