It appears that the long hood here is made of paper rather than steel as it is moving to a holding area while work commences on the engine itself.

I hadn't realized how relatively easy it was to simply lift off a part of the long hood and set it on the ground! As you can see in this shot, parts of UP 6948 have had electrical work completed.

Union Pacific is in the process of converting the AC6000CW fleet back to standard 4400HP AC4400CW (officially C44/60AC on UP's roster). The 6000HP experiment just didn't work out for UP. All of EMD's SD90MACs (with 6000HP) are off the roster and most of the AC6000CWs have been converted back. This unit, previous UP 7569, is waiting for is 4400 HP engine to be plopped in.

It was a very cool experience. Even cooler to consider the Rio Grande history as these were the main shops for Rio Grande. Here, we see engines waiting for some traction motor replacement.

Something odd about the power on this loaded coal train. The four units on the point? Well, that is a little unusual? More unusual is the fact that there is an SD70M in the consist. That SD70M has DC traction motors...something that you almost never find on coal trains in the 21st century! The SD70M was added in Grand Junction, although for what reason, I'm not sure.

After five years, funding has finally been identified and a company named to carry out the Pecos Street grade separation. A new bridge will be built (18-22 months) over the UP Moffat Tunnel Sub and the BNSF Front Range Sub. The street was officially closed to through traffic starting on December 16, 2009.

If you are along the Moffat Tunnel Route, you'll be seeing this facing heading toward you at grade crossing a lot in the next three months.
