In the tiny town of Carr, CO, the dispatcher has set up a great meet between eastbound and westbound (rerouted) Zephyrs. It will prove to be a "rolling meet", meaning neither train will have to come to a stop.

The eastbound California Zephyr crosses over Lone Tree Creek and is coming up to an Approach (yellow over red) signal at the north end of Carr. The westbound Zephyr is just entering the siding of Carr at the south end. Both Zephyrs are being rerouted through Wyoming due to a wildfire that has the tracks through Glenwood Canyon closed.

UP 844 crosses Weld County Road in downtown Carr, CO on its trip south back toward Denver. The population of Carr probably doubled as people showed up to checked out the Northern-type steam locomotive.

The Cheyenne Frontier Days steam train knocks down a clear signal at the north end of Carr. Engineer Ed Dickens looks out the cab of UP 844 as the train approaches the grade crossing at Carr.

The crew on this coal load is throttling up, ready to leave the siding of Carr north on a clear signal. The train will have to go as quick as it can up to Speer as the ZLADV will be there before long, ready to head south to Denver. The flat car sitting on the house track to the right has been there for over six months. The car literally broke in two on a work train. It was welded back together (as a temporary fix) and was setup here. UP hasn't gotten around to dealing with it yet. More than likely, the car will be cut up and scrapped right here, on the spot.

After waiting for more than an hour for the (rerouted) California Zephyr to show up at Carr, this northbound coal train is finally ready to continue north toward Cheyenne, leaving Carr on a clear signal. Note the end DPU's starting to shove on the rear of the train.

An Amtrak F59PH, which typically lives in California, is being sent to Chicago on the California Zephyr. I never did hear exactly why it was making the trip back to Chicago, but it made for a nice (and unexpected!) addition to the Zephyr.

The eastbound (geographic southbound) Zephyr is accelerating on the main at Carr. The train is meeting a coal load on the siding behind the photographer. The Zephyr will shortly reached speeds near 75 MPH on its trip south to Denver.

A problem with a bridge in between Provo and Salt Lake City, UT has resulted in Amtrak being rerouted through Wyoming for a few days. Here, the Zephyr is headed south on UP's Greeley Sub at Carr. The lead P42DC does not have cab signals, so UP 4473 was added as a pilot for the trip from Salt Lake to Denver.

An interesting look at some windmill blades loaded onto articulated spine cars. Interesting the way there is such an efficient use of space!

The MNYNP heads north on the mainline in Carr. Not a lot of shots come out of Carr because it is roughly halfway between US-85 and I-25 in northern Colorado, so it is a bit of a drive to get there! Note the windmill blade on the left side of the shot. This is where windmills components are being offloaded.

A few miles north of the siding of Owl Canyon, the northbound MDENLAU is on the roll. The guy in the distance is Kevin Morgan, the webmaster here at drgw.ws!
