A overhead roster shot of UP 2882 heading south through Greeley. This was once DRGW 5342, but has obviously undergone some changes. In additional to being patched, note the class lights and Mars lights have been removed.

As a northbound empty soda ash train leaving Greeley on a clear signal, a funeral train consisting of 24 units heads south through the siding.

A look down on the longest diesel locomotive ever constructed! UP 6936 is a DDA40X built in January 1971 and is just shy of 100ft in length. The unit was used as a backup (and for dynamic braking) on the Cheyenne Frontier Days train.

After a very brief stop in Greeley, UP 844 has the Cheyenne Frontier Days special rolling south again. After a long day in Cheyenne, passengers are enjoying the ride back to Denver.

Just south of Greeley, a northbound coal empty has a clear signal. The empty came from the Nixon power plant south of Colorado Springs. It'll load at the North Antelope mine in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming.

At the north end of Greeley, I got the "so long Ski Train, going away just before sunset" shot that I had been hoping for all day! Not much else to be said...

When I was a kid, my parents took me to Glenwood Springs all the time to swim as well as watch trains. That's probably why the Ski Train Glenwood Springs, seen here, is one of my favorites!

After an evening of clouds, the sun finally broke through the clouds about 20 minutes before sunset, offering this great shot with eerie storm clouds in the direct sunlight. The train is at the north end of Greeley, continuing north on a clear signal.

About a half hour after sunset, there was just enough light left to capture this northbound manifest highballing the center crossover at Greeley.
