After nearly three years, the Espee Heritage Unit finally made its way to Denver. It came in the night before on the Moffat. Didn't hang out long! It headed north on the MNYNP the following day. Here, the MNYNP sits in the siding at Platteville, CO.

A last bit of light shines through here at Platteville before afternoon storm clouds totally take over. UP 1996 came through Denver for the first time. Here, the train sits on the siding at Platteville to wait for a southbound.

At Platteville, this manifest takes the siding to meet a southbound manifest which is currently a few miles to the north.

The steam train always attracts quite a croud on the ground. Here at Platteville, the steam train held the main for a southbound UP manifest. After getting a clear signal, the train "smokes" up and prepares to depart northbound.
