UP 1989 sits on the siding at Brighton as a northbound UP manifest passes by on the main track. UP 1989 is part of an Operation Lifesaver train that is about to take on a whole bunch of police!

A long lens look at the Espee Heritage Unit, UP 1996, as it runs north on UP's MNYNP. Lighting was a bit harsh here as the sun and the clouds were both in the western sky.

Not bad...and all-EMD consist leads up this northbound on the Greeley Sub. The SD9043MAC and four SD70ACes will continue with the train to North Platte, NE. The SD60M will be dropped off in La Salle to be used in local service.

Now here is a familiar and friendly face! A few years ago, this was DRGW 3121. It hasn't changed too much...it even still has its class lights in place. UP has kept the unit in Colorado, most recently working in Pueblo. Here, it is being moved to La Salle for switching.

Hazeltine is the first siding north of Denver on UP's Greeley Subdivision. A northbound manifest - the MNYNP (North Yard, CO to North Platte, NE) - meets its counterpart which is holding patiently in the siding.

Following on the heals on the MDVGR, the MNYNP is on the approach to Hazeltine with a clear signal. The five units are reasonable, as there are 113 cars on the train!

A work train that came out of Cheyenne is holding in the siding at Hazeltine on its way into Denver (North Yard). The train is waiting for the MDVGR and the MNYNP, both of which came out of Denver at almost the exact same time.

Planes and trains as seen from an automobile! The fuselage for a 737-800 rests on a flat car as it is transported from Wichita, KS to Seattle, WA. Typically these trains run through Nebraska, but recently flooding resulted in a re-route up the Joint Line and Brush Sub in Colorado.

Fuselages for Boeing airplanes are built in Wichita, KS. The final assembly of the planes takes place in the Seattle, WA area. So how do those fuselages get there? By train of course! Here, a fuselage for a future 737-800 is being transported by BNSF to Boeing in Washington State.

Severe flooding in the mid-west plains states has resulted in several BNSF lines being submerged for extended lengths of time. Consequently, a lot of trains are being rerouted on different lines. The HKCKPAS (Kansas City to Pasco, WA) has been rerouted through Colorado. Here, the train heads east on the Brush Sub with three Boeing 737 fuselages in the consist.

Not far south of the south switch at Brighton, the MNYNP-08 comes to a stop to wait for a southbound to meet at Brighton. The MNYNP-08 is over 7,300 feet long and it won't fit in the siding without blocking crossings in town. Meanwhile, DRGW 5371 sits as the sixth unit, looking pretty darn good while it waits!

On the mainline at Hazeltine, the MNYNP-08 is rolling north at track speed with DRGW 5371 in tow as the sixth unit. While the 5371 is not DIC (it is idling), it will not load and thus is not doing any "actual" work.
