You have to love the modern vs classic contrast here between the double stack containers in the background on UP 844 in the foreground. The 4-8-4 "Northern" class steam engine was built by ALCO (the American Locomotive Company) is December 1944. It was the last steam engine delivered to Union Pacific. It as been in nearly-continuous excursion service since 1962.

As UP 844 comes around the south leg of the wye at Speer Jct, a westbound Z-Train passes by on Main 3 in the background. UP 844 is slowly pulling the train through the wye and on to the Greeley Sub. Once the entire train is on the Greeley Sub on the single main, a pair of diesel engines on the back of the train will pull the train on the track in the foreground, back to Cheyenne.
