The throttle is to the peg, but, as the three DRGW F7s hit a control point with a clear signal, the gradient and the long passenger special have the speedometer at just over 35 MPH and dropping, while the amperage on the ammeter is rising.

DRGW 315, the C-18 that has been in a Durango park for the last 57 years, came back to night last night as it stepped out of the Durango roundhouse under its own power to a huge round of applause from the waiting crowd.
It didn't go far - out onto the turntable to pose for pictures, up past the ash pit for a blowdown, and then eventually to the ash pit to dump the fire and head back to its bay, but it did indeed run.
Just saw that Mark Czerwinski posted on the Goat that D&RGW 315 is being moved from its home in the park to the Durango & Silverton right now (Friday, 17-Aug-2007, around noon).

Neither BLE nor UTU challenged the MKT and DRGW proposals to use their own crews to conduct trackage rights operations (ibid.), and neither union suggested that it would be entitled to a voice in the MKT and DRGW crew selections (id. at 64a-65a).
The Commission stated that "(i)nasmuch as DRGW and MKT proposed in their applications that the operations would be performed with their own crews, our approval of the applications authorizes such operations" (id. at 54a).
DRGW's proposed trackage rights agreement, also filed in January, 1981, stated that "Rio Grande may, at its option, elect to employ its own crews for the movement of its trains, locomotives and cars to points on or over the Joint Track." Proposed Trackage Rights Agreement Section 6(c)(2), Finance Docket No. 30,000 (Sub.-No. 18).

 Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad (AAR reporting mark DRG and DRGW) generally referred to as the Rio Grande, became the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad in 1920, and is today a fallen flag (a railroad that has been absorbed into a larger system -- Union Pacific -- as the result of a merger).
In 1931, the DandRGW acquired the Denver and Salt Lake Western Railroad (a company in name only), a subsidiary of the Denver and Salt Lake Railroad (DandSL) which had acquired the rights to build a 40 mile (64km) connection between the two railroads.
On November 17, 2006 the DRGW 5371, the last operating original DandRGW locomotive on the Union Pacific, was re-numbered as a Union Pacific locomotive.

While in charge of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (DRGW) at the turn of the 20th century, he sent DRGW surveyors and engineers through California's Feather River canyon to stake out a route for the DRGW to reach San Francisco, California.
Harriman, who at the time led both the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific Railroads, Gould was forced to set up third-party companies to manage the surveying and construction to disguise his role.
In later years, the DRGW and WP would work together on trains that were passed off to each other in Salt Lake City, Utah, including the prestigious passenger train, the California Zephyr.
