A long way from hauling Commuters
Title:  A long way from hauling Commuters
Description:  The CC&RG aka The Tourist Train here in the area, recently purchased a replacement for one of it's locomotives. This ex VRE GP40PH-2 is that unit. But whats even more interesting is that this unit actually began its life as astaright GP40 working for the A&WP as their 728. So from the way south, to Wash DC, to Colorado, all in a days work I guess for this well travelled unit
