UP 5872 has recently been rebuilt by UP from an C44AC-CTE to a C44ACM (UP's designation). In the world of expensive Tier-4 compliant units from EMD and GE (Wabtec), most railroads are starting to focus money on rebuilds rather than new planes. After the rebuild, UP 5872 also got the latest UP paint scheme, moving the American flag from the long hood to the nose, and removing the wings from the front of the nose entirely.

The long days of summer are great for having plenty of daylight to try to find trains, but the sun resting almost directly straight up in the sky results in short shadows. Black and white, with a bit of a contrast bump, actually can be quite helpful. Note the Denver skyline in the distance and the Rocky Mountains even further off in the distance as a northbound UP manifest approaches.

You can see that the switch is bent and aligned in to the siding of Irondale at the west switch. It might appear that the signal is displaying a red over dark aspect, but it is actually red over flashing red...the shot is just in the middle of the flash. This is a restricting indication as the siding of Irondale does not have any occupancy.
