This train is coming out of 36th Street on the Limon Subdivision. UP hopes that in the not-to-distant future, the CRIP (Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific) line between the Belt Industrial Lead and Sandown Junction will be restored. If and when that happens, coal trains will no longer traverse this section of track. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Who knows if these units will ever be reactivated, or if they perished soon after the inception, similar to the U50 about thirty years ago.

The east end of Mesa is on quite a hill, and trains crest the hill from the west, appearing (seemingly) from out of nowhere! Snow has definitely found its way to the mountain peaks of the Continental Divide. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Most of the coal that comes off the Moffat runs on the KP. So, it is nice when something like a unit auto train comes rolling through every once in awhile! This empty auto train is on the move in between Sable and Mesa, heading east. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

And yes, they are moving toward each other...fortunately, the BNSF local on the left is about to hit a switch at 20th Street that will take it to the right and into BNSF's yard. The UP coal load is coming out of North Yard, and will hold for the local to clear. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101669 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, November 3, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 0 Denver, CO 1728 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Colorado Springs (UP)/Pikes Peak (BNSF) BNSF I don't care who you are, you have to admit that this unit looks very strange. The unit was built as a GP30, but it has been rebuilt as a GP39E by BNSF. Since being a GP30, the smaller (center) radiator fan has been completed removed. Even more odd, the classic rounded GP30 cab has been replaced with the square spartan cab EMD used on subsequent model (until the wide-cab anyway).
