Description
This is a diesel locomotive stabled at the Grand Canyon Station. It may seem like an unremarkable locomotive, and I have little knowledge of the history of this class of traction. However, I found the cab and front end design to be highly evocative of a bygone era – spurring notions of Americana, and those elegant 1950’s style locomotives that you would have seen in 1970’s movies. You might even describe this as some sort of neo-art deco style. You can just imagine this locomotive dragging the Texas Eagle through the desert many decades ago.
