One of the newest units on UP's roster, UP 7799 was the last ES44AC delivered to Union Pacific in 2007. It came out of the General Electric shops in Erie, PA in October 2007. The unit is on tap to run as the power on the MDVSI-02 later in the evening.

After completing its switching work at Roydale, the LDJ03 is headed back toward 36th Street. The train is moving at restricted speed as it is following a coal empty into the yard using a box 4 and a box 11 on its track warrant. The local is passing the switching yard at Monaco Street. GMTX 2678 is a leaser of Baltimore & Ohio heritage.

Getting close to the end of its journey across the plains, this UP coal empty is crossing Steele Street approaching the Yard Limits at 36th Street. A sign of the weather in the last 24 hours is on the side of the unit...ice is draped off the running boards of the lead unit!

A westbound coal empty - the CCSSM-24 - is passing milepost 634 on UP's KP Line. The train is approaching the former (and possibly future) location of Sandown Junction. It was here that the Rock Island would leave the KP Line to head for the Belt Line and connect with DRGW.

The second picture I added to the website was taken on January 12, 2002 and it was of DRGW 3111. Six years later and that same unit was found switching on the Roydale Local (the LDJ03) at Roydale. Looks a bit different from six years ago...

In Colorado, the weather can shift from Summer to Winter overnight...literally! 24 hours before this picture was taken, it was 75 degrees out. On this day, the mercury in the thermometer didn't get over 30. UP's LDJ03 is switching on the main at Roydale.

Yard Shots Union Pacific, Rio Grande
It's been awhile since I've seen the Rio Grande Heritage Unit in daylight! Even though it is only sitting in the yard, I decided to go ahead and add a shot. The unit is continuing to run nights on the MNYPU/MPUNY between Denver and Pueblo.

After a long trip down the Front Range Sub, the HLAUDEN is nearly at its destination in Denver. Rennicks is BNSF's intermodal hub in Denver, seen in the background. The track only half visible on the left side of the picture (at the bottom) is UP's mainline. The track to the right of that is BNSF's mainline.

I was hoping that I might see my first isolated-cab SD70ACe, but alas, this ACE came from one of the first runs for BNSF. The newer units have isolated cabs similar to the SD70MAC's from ten year ago. I have heard some crew members say that the cabs of the non-isolated SD70ACe's can be louder than SD40-2's!

The southbound HPASSAG had a sole DPU C44-9W bringing up its tail end. The train is just about off the main line at Rennicks...note the train running underneath UP's Belt Flyover.

Earlier in the day, these two units could be found on the point of the Valmont coal load. The units cut away from their train (the HPASSAG) at Broomfield to help pull the Valmont train over Westminster Hill. After returning to Broomfield, the power tied on and a short time later, continued south into town.

One of only four SD60MACs ever created, the four units wore very unique paint schemes when they were delivered to Burlington Northern. Today, the units still wear (most of) their original paint. A few EMD logos have been added (as BN returned them to EMD). EMDX 9501 is sitting here at the House in Denver, waiting to head north toward Seattle.
