The SLRG reporting mark has been used for many of Ed Ellis' various other operations.  The ex-NJT power used on the "Hoosier State" was one example.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

The SL&RG is in bankruptcy.  Last I heard the Rio Grande Scenic was shut down, so maybe they are renting out some units.

On a recent drive though Portland, CO (east of Florence and Canon City) I spotted two or three locomotives with San Luis and Rio Grande markings.  Anyone know why they are there?
