Photo ID: 109588 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, October 8, 2023 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North of Nunn Nunn, CO 140 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific, BNSF It is a pretty rare sight to find BNSF orange on UP's Greeley Sub! In 2023, it seems that most lines, regardless of the owner, have at least one other railroad with trackage rights on their line. UP's Greeley Sub between Denver and Cheyenne is not one of those lines. UP is the owner and no other railroad has trackage rights. So these BNSF units must just be power sharing units on this northbound military train. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A loaded military train, which originated at Fort Carson near Colorado Springs, is led by a pair of BNSF ES44C4s and an UP AC4400CW.

In 1910, the population of Nunn was 143 people and, as of 2020, that has indeed grown to 504 people! Meanwhile, a northbound manifest cuts through town on the mainline.

The E-units are only E-units on the outside. On the inside, they've been rebuilt and are now, in essence, GP38-2s. They are each rated at 2,000 horsepower. The DDA40X, on the other hand, is still rated at a full 6,600 horsepower. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

That is the motto that is stenciled on the water tower that stands tall over the small town, whose population is just under 500. Also in the frame is the Cheyenne Frontier Days special with UP's E9s and DDA40X leading. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

While I don't care to get in to such a debate here on my website, I would like to point out that I do personally appreciate the effort that a UP employee made to clean the flag on the side of this somewhat dingy ES44AC.

In the late afternoon, southbounds are hit with just about the best light you could ask for! Case-in-point is this southbound unit covered hopper train, headed for Milliken, CO.

Save for the fact that the GE's are way too new, this shot harkens back to the 1960's and 1970's when you could find all kinds of crazy mixed power on UP, including DDA40X's and DD35's.

I try not to beat roster shots to death, but with the longest diesel unit ever built, it's kinda hard not to get a lot of shots! Who knows when next the unit will run wild on the rails.

The southbound ZLADV is making good time as it approaches the north end of Nunn at close to 60 MPH. The autoracks in the foreground are indeed loaded with new cars. The doublestacks behind those have made the trip from Los Angeles, while the trailers at the end were added in Salt Lake. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It is known as a "hospital train" or "funeral train". It is so named because all but the first three units are heading for retirement. 21 units are headed for retirement. 17 of those units are SD40T-2s.
