On the approach to Hermosa (the tunnels), a trio of EMDs (to SD9043MACs and an SD70M) lead up this manifest running from Fresno, CA to North Platte, NE. The manifest is a high priority as it has perishable goods on it.

A fairly picturesque view of the mountains to the west of Hermosa on UP's Laramie Subdivision. This special is running on Main 2, but will move over to Main 3 upon reaching the opposite end of the Hermosa crossover.

The very first time I've actually shot at the tunnel of Hermosa. Seems fitting that it would be of UP's famous 4-8-4 steam locomotive. This special is heading for points in California.

Thought that sounded strange coming through the tunnel! UP 844 emerges from the west portal of Hermosa on its way west. It is leading a UP passenger special going on a month long tour. The train will, among other things, commemorate the 140th anniversary of the completing of the transcontinental railroad.
