That wasn't the case on this particular June morning. A cloud settled over this S-Curve west of Limon as UP 1983 pulled through the curve with a blade train.

An SD60M, a former Cotton Belt GP40-2 and a former Espee GP40M-2 make for a great sight. Both of the geeps were lashed up together last September, working on the West Local on the Rocky Spur!

The crew will now proceed with their switching in town. UP interchanges with the short line KYLE railroad in town. With no trains called out of Denver or Sharon Springs, the local will have plenty of time to do their work. Even with all the time, the local will ultimately be tied down in town and a relief crew will take the local back to Denver the following day.

Not too far in the distance is the interchange point between UP and the KYLE railroad, a short line that operates in western Kansas and eastern Colorado. Once upon a time, the KYLE trackage was owned by Rock Island. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
