Due to the incredible number of people gathered, the train is moving along at walking speed. Indeed, two mechanics are walking ahead of the train on either side of the tracks, making sure everyone is in the clear. Once they are clear of the grade crossings in Greeley, the mechanics will board, and the train will pick up speed. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

If you look closely, you'll notice the left rail is flat out broken. This track no longer connects to the mainline at either end, never to be used again.

The train is interesting for a few reason. First, sole SD70ACe on the point is in fact the only unit on the entire train. Second, other than the first seven cars, the remainder of the train is all empty auto racks. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
