Description
Number 3035 came through San Luis Obispo around 1993, after serving with the Denver & Rio Grande Western for 29 years and,just before going over to a leasing company for the rest of its days. From the look of this photo, it appears to have been in helper service stationed at the San Luis Obispo train depot. Three locomotives were always waiting there to get cut into trains to help them climb over Cuesta Grade between San Luis Obispo and Santa Margarita, California.
N-scale model railroaders might remember DRGW 3035 as the prototype for an Atlas/Kato GP35 released in the early 1990s, which happened to be the first locomotive I bought.
