This week’s photo has three SD40’s with their as-delivered numbers (before renumbering to 4-digits), with a Railway Express Agency building in the background.

Location?

I believe that’s Pueblo, Colorado.

Great photo with the REA trucks in it. I’m currently reading Express Mail & Merchandise Service by Jeff Wilson which is a great book on the subject, with quite a bit of MoPac Express service info in it..

It’s available on Amazon (and don’t forget to select MPHS on Amazon Smile)

I’m with Nate. That looks like Pueblo to me. But, I’m not an expert on that area. Is there anyone else out there that has some input?

I too would call it as Pueblo.

The embankment that the photographer is standing on was the site of many a photo.
