Rio Grande DRGW 5507
Title:  Rio Grande DRGW 5507
Description:  Here's the Unpatched DRGW SD50 in the back of the consist. I was watching a show on RFD-TV about the Royal Gorge Route a few minutes earlier and DRGW 5503 rolled by on that show, I saw 5503 in 2002. I walked outside 2 minutes later and saw this one. Needless to say, we chased it to Dexter.
