I haven't done a whole lot with Frontier Days the last couple of years. And I was reminded of exactly why this year. Traveling on US-85 can be extremely aggravating at times. Some people will pace UP 844 and block traffic behind them. On this evening, I was one of the those being blocked. This pacing shot (which is by no means one of my best) was the closest to the head end of the train I could get from La Salle all the way down to Brighton!

It is interesting to see windmill blades transported by rail. The use sets of five articulated spine cars whose original purpose was for trailers (piggy back). Here you can see how two blades fit on a set of five cars.

Just north of Ft Lupton, I stopped along US-85 and conveniently cropped out the UP pilot engine and got a shot of the Ski Train with some fairly dramatic cloud action!

A pretty descent action shot of UP 1996. The unit was second in the consist on the MNYNP. The train is on the Greeley Sub and the shot was taken from US-85, moving along at close to 40 MPH.

After having bearing problems at Ft Lupton, UP 3985 was cut out of the consist. Here, UP 844 leads the Cheyenne Frontier Days train. In La Salle, UP SD40-2s will be added to assist with the climb up to Speer, WY.
