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.

When Norfolk Southern started the program in 2015, the first six units to be converted (NS 4000 to NS 4005) received special paint schemes to commemorate the conversion. I must admit, I never expected to find one in Greeley, CO! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
