An eastbound Rio Grande freight departs Glenwood Springs, Colorado, on July 6, 1987. A pair of EMD SD40T-2s bracket a newer EMD SD50 for power on the train that is paralleling a nearly empty I-70 on the other side of the Colorado River. The famous Hot Springs pool is being enjoyed by many on this hot summer day that can be seen inside the Interstate’s curve across from Rio Grande’s passenger station.
