There is quite a bit of interest from both Amtrak and the State of Colorado in trying to get some state-sponsored Amtrak trains running along the Front Range from Ft Collins to Pueblo. In a very rare move, the Winter Park Express equipment was repurposed for one day to take several key dignitaries on a trip from Denver to Longmont on the Front Range Sub. Included on the train were Colorado Governor Jared Polis and Amtrak President Roger Harris, among others. AMTK 174, sporting Amtrak's newest (Phase VII) paint scheme, was brought in from Chicago specifically for the special. Here, the train crosses Clear Creek just north of Utah Junction.

The journey down the Front Range Sub is complete. The blade train is just about to pass the distant signal at the I-76 overpass. The distant signal is in advance of the diamond with the UP Belt Line. With UP's DS-86 clearing the train across the diamond, the distant signal is now showing a green.

Without a doubt my personal favorite B-B unit (at least since the GP30) is the GP60. The dynamic brake intake is very unique. Here, a GP60 (with an animated and friendly engineer!) leads the Buck Local down the Front Range Sub into Denver.

BNSF's Buck Local received a warrant from Longmont down to Clear Creek. It is about to pass the signal leading in to Utah Junction. Nothing like an all-EMD lash up!
