Ever since September 2003, trains have used directional running between Pueblo and Amarillo. Northbounds, such as this one, run on the Twin Peaks Sub, so sidings like Beshoar are seldom used.

Granted the 1989 could use a little bit of a washing, but it still looks good coming through the S-Curve at Blue Mountain!

The time of day - almost 8:00pm - limited the options for places to take this shot. After spending a day on the western slope, UP 1989 comes back to Denver on the MRONY-02.
