UP 5872 has recently been rebuilt by UP from an C44AC-CTE to a C44ACM (UP's designation). In the world of expensive Tier-4 compliant units from EMD and GE (Wabtec), most railroads are starting to focus money on rebuilds rather than new planes. After the rebuild, UP 5872 also got the latest UP paint scheme, moving the American flag from the long hood to the nose, and removing the wings from the front of the nose entirely.

Just south of Rolla, a northbound UP manifest approaches the grade crossing at 96th Avenue. It appears that the yard crew at North Yard blocked the train quite nicely for its trip to Green River, WY. There, the train will likely be broken up (to some extent) before cars continue on to their final destinations.

UP 4419 is currently serving as the Rolla switcher. Rolla is a yard just north of Denver that serves as UP's main auto facility for the Denver area. If you purchased a new car in the Denver area, there is a chance it arrived via Union Pacific and was shuffled through Rolla.

A northbound manifest crosses 96th Avenue, just south of Hazeltine. It seems that AC4400CWs are making a bit of a come back. On this particularly afternoon, I saw far more of those than any ES44s. A trio leads this manifest as it heads out of Denver.
