This had been planned for years, but there was no funding. Finally, a mix of funds from Adams County, the Feds and Union Pacific came up with the money and the project is well underway. The new overpass would block the view of UP's signal bridge (for the Pecos Crossover), so the signal bridge is being relocated east.

I'm guessing it is some kind of GE something-tonner, but this is outside my realm of expertise! It was sitting near the grain elevators at Utah Junction.

And while "Amshack" tends to be a pejorative term used for crummy, tiny depots, that is not the case in Denver. The temporary depot is, in my opinion, nicer than a lot of permanent depots!

Granted there are only two units, but I'll take it. A C44-9W and an SD75M lead the Denver, CO to Pueblo, CO manifest.

I thought it was interesting that the doors on the long hood on UP 1526 were open after leaving Burnham! The unit (ex-SSW 7291) was definitely online. On August 1, 2003, I shot this very same unit when it was still in full, unpatched gray! It was working on the Montrose Local on that particular day.
