Photo ID: 106146 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, July 23, 2016 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP W045 (South La Salle) La Salle, CO 1592 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific I don't always make it out to shoot the Cheyenne Frontier Days train. Ever wondered why? This shot might help to answer that question somewhat! As you can see, traffic builds up on US-85, parallel to the tracks. Some people enjoy pacing the steam engine (in both lanes), making it virtually impossible for those in back to get ahead to the next shot. Due to this frustration, I will either sit the day out, or plan out one or two spots I know I'll be able to get to! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

However, the train made a stop in Greeley to check out 844 and make sure everything was running correctly. That stop allowed us to hop ahead of the train and setup for this shot of the train coming down the main in La Salle. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It'll never replace such units as the SD40-2 or even the SD70M, but it not too shabby! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Although you can't tell from the pictures alone, these two units are the same two I shot at dawn at Henderson. Apparently, the power was serviced quickly and kicked right back out of town!

The Greeley Sub is one spot where you can see coal empties meeting each other and/or coal loads meeting each other! Powder River Trains and Colorado Coal trains can meet each other from time to time.

This is one of only three remaining GP40P-2's! Three of these units were delivered to Southern Pacific for use in the San Francisco area. The extended section at the back contained a steam generator. Of course, that equipment has long since been removed, but the unusual body still exists. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The lighting was really good and UP 844 is putting off enough smoke to make it look nice and classy! The train is just south of downtown La Salle.
