I never knew about this photo collection that's tied in with Utah Rails.

I also have never seen a re-engined RS-1.

Very neat.

Oh... gosh... that Bamberger unit was remarkable in that it was one of the earliest cross-manufacturer repowerings, done in the '50s. Apparently it worked OK since it was on UP's roster as #1270 until 1972. Shouldn't be too difficult to model as long as you pay attention that it's not just a simple SW hood, it's raised about a foot and may be a few inches wider.

Don has a great collection of shots around Salt Lake City, specifically Grant Tower, which I intend to model as a LDE.
