It wasn’t that long ago we discussed one of the few remaining locomotives in the Rio Grande paint scheme. I recently found this Youtube video that features Union Pacific #1989 pulling an Amtrak train. 1989 is one of UP’s heritage locomotives, with a paint scheme created to represent fallen flag’s of the railroad’s past. This particular locomotive was painted to represent the Denver & Rio Grande Western.
Rarely do these locomotives leave home rails, so don’t expect to see one in Ohio anytime soon. Only a failure in one of Amtrak’s locomotives made this video even possible to share. For a slow look at the engine check out this related video.
