Photo ID: 109526 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, October 1, 2023 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Brighton (8,203ft) Brighton, CO 149 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Kansas City Southern, Union Pacific This coal empty was holding south of the siding of Brighton so as not to block grade crossing through town. When the southbound it was meeting showed up, the train pulled in to the siding. However, nobody informed the crew that the southbound is a local that is blocking the north end of the siding, preventing the coal empty from leaving! So the crossing in Brighton wound up blocked for over 30 minutes anyway. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The unit certainly did receive a rather unique patch job on the long hood! But I'll take that patch job over a patch on the cab done with contrasting colors any day.
