The dynamic brake intake is very unique. Here, a GP60 (with an animated and friendly engineer!) leads the Buck Local down the Front Range Sub into Denver.

Okay, so it may not be obvious at first glance that this is a familiar face. Until September 1, 2005, this was DRGW 3105. It spent nearly five years running as a patched until. However, it recently made a visit to North Little Rock and got truly assimilated by UP! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The spare P42 is taken out of the stub track and added to the front of the train. On the west side of the divide, the eastbound Zephyr was wyed at Tabernash and turned into the westbound Zephyr. Passengers from that train were bussed to Denver and placed on this train to continue east to Chicago. Likewise, passengers from this train were bussed to Fraser and placed on the new westbound Zephyr. When all was said and done, #5 was 10 hours late heading west and #6 was just under 3 hours late heading east. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A rock slide on the Moffat kept the train from making it west. The head end P42 was pulled off the train at Clay, run around the train, and tacked on the tail end. It then pulled the train back to town. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
