These units, often known as Gensets, were built by National Railway Equipment. They have three Cummins diesel engines in them and operate with reduced emissions. Due to that, these units are most commonly found (when active) in California. Based on the aftermarket decorations, I would say that's where these units came from as well!

For 50 years, I-70 has crossed through the east part of Denver on a bridge known as the "elevated deck". With that bridge aging, it was apparent it would need to be replaced. The Colorado Department of Transportation instead decided to drop I-70 in to a trench and knock down the elevated deck. A small piece of the elevated deck that hasn't been torn down is still visit to the right of the Purina factory. Meanwhile, UP 4014 stops across I-70 on new tracks and a new bridge at the north end of 36th Street Yard, waiting to back in.

Behind the unit, we find only a handful of units around the fueling and sanding racks. The yard itself looks to be a bit on the empty side.
