By afternoon, this train (which left Monument several hours earlier) has finally reached Castle Rock. Several people watch over the movement of this large load, from inside as well as outside. Somewhat analogous to the "wide loads" you see moving on the interstates from time-to-time.

The town of Castle Rock is preparing to widen Interstate 25. To accomodate the wider highway, a new bridge for the northbound main (main two) is currently being constructed. Note the SP logo on the bridge.
