Ex Rio Grande, SD40T-2, #9871 finally moves out of the Coors brewing company rail yard where it has sat many years rusting away. This was one of the last active SD40T-2's working the Union Pacific system, still in Rio Grande paint, before it was retired and later donated.
Since the Colorado railroad museum is land locked, moving the 184 ton locomotive to the museum was no easy task. It took 4 Caterpillar side booms and a army of people to move the locomotive down the 1/4 mile or so road leading to the museum. Section track later had to be laid so the locomotive could fit through the main entrance. The whole process took around 5 1/2 hours which is really good considering the circumstances. Filmed in August, 2018.
