Photo ID: 106598 Date Shot Photo By Friday, September 22, 2017 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Keensburg Curve Weld County, CO 1709 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Brush (BNSF) BNSF On this first day of fall, the further west I travelled back toward Denver, the thicker the cloud coverage got. When I setup for this shot, the scene was bathed in great lightning. Alas, a cloud blew in and added shade to the scene a mere 30 seconds prior to the arrival of the train! Ah well...the curve at Keensburg still looks mighty fine, even in the shade. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 106107 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, July 23, 2016 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North of Nunn Weld County, CO 2071 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific A local farmer in the small town of Nunn has erected a huge flag pole in his or her field. That flag offers a great backdrop as UP 844 charges north toward the US-85 overpass. Some people may wonder why a diesel engine is on the train. As powerful and amazing as UP 844 is, it alone does not have the power to keep the train moving at track speed. In order to keep the schedule, a diesel engine is added and throttles up (when needed) to assist UP 844. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
