Looking north from 120th Avenue, the Zephyr is running on clear signals as it charges north at track speed on UP's Greeley Subdivision. The overpass in the distance is that of E-470, Denver's toll road that loops around (most) of the city.

Fall colors are starting to set in around the Denver area! The westbound Zephyr is on the roll at track speed along Havana Street in Henderson on UP's Greeley Sub. The train is detouring through Wyoming on its journey west because the Moffat is closed for maintenance.

Up close and personal! AMTK 20 leads the westbound (running north right now) California Zephyr #5 at 120th Avenue in Henderson, CO.

With the Denver skyline visible in the distance, the westbound California Zephyr charges north through Henderson. The train is passing the north switch of Hazeltine (note the auto racks in the siding). With the Moffat closed, the train will detour through Wyoming on UP's Overland Route.

Union Pacific is a real class act when it comes to heritage equipment. Decades after the last DDA40X was retired from revenue service, UP 6936 still run and can, from time to time, be found on the rails. Such was the case on this July day when it was assisting as power on the Cheyenne Frontier Days passenger special.

UP maintains two E9As and an E9B. They are a part of the Union Pacific heritage fleet and they look sharp. They, along with DDA40X #6936, lead the Cheyenne Frontier Days passenger special north at 144th Avenue south of Brighton. I like the Colorado and Wyoming state flags on the cab.

Cheyenne Frontier Days! Believe it or not, but it has been six years since I actually go track side for the event. As you may or may not have heard, 2015 was the second year that Union Pacific did not have an operable steam engine for Frontier Days. However, a trio of classic E-units and a DDA40X make for some might fine power for the day.
