Photo ID: 109535 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, October 1, 2023 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Eaton (MP 58.8) Eaton, CO 143 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific One of my personal favorite units of all time is EMD's SD70M. When first released, UP put in the largest single order (to that date) with 1,000 units. They followed that up over 400 additional orders. UP 4059 is one such unit, sitting at Eaton off the main track. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Granted, Kansas City Southern units don't make it to Colorado particularly often, but when they do, they are great to see. With the merger of CP and KCS, creating CPKC, both the Canadian Pacific and KCS paint schemes will be replaced by a new scheme.

Photo ID: 109343 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, June 18, 2023 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Eaton (MP 58.8) Eaton, CO 223 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific Take a look at UP's newest paint scheme! After two decades of the American flag on the long hood and wings on the nose, UP has changed their official paint scheme. The flag has been moved to either side of the short hood and the long nose just reads "Union Pacific" again. The wings have also, sadly, been removed from the nose. UP 6964 was originally built as a 6000 HP AC6000CW. It has been rebuilt (and repainted) as a standard 4400 HP C44ACM. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

UP 7154 is one such example, which is now designated as an C44ACM. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

KCS units don't show up that often in Colorado as is, so it's great to get shots whenever possible. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The town of Eaton is no exception, as you can see the various industries lined up along the mainline as a southbound manifest rolls on clear (green) signals through the middle of town.

For this shot, I am standing at the now-closed Hwy 72 grade crossing. It appears that UP has been making a considerable effort to close as many crossing along the Greeley Sub as possible. I noted at least five grade crossing that had been closed in the past few years. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
