"A coal empty?", you might be asking. "That does not look like a coal hopper behind the power!" - and you would be correct. With the implementation of PSR (Precision Scheduled Railroading), UP is reducing the number of trains by combining some trains. In this case, manifest traffic that would be on the MNYPH is instead added to the point of coal empties. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It is making its way back east and, due to the long distance, will have to stop in Denver for a full (FRA-required) inspection. The symbol of the train is the CSVJA9-28. The "9" at the end of the symbol (before the date) indicates the train requires a 1,500-mile inspection. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train will enter in to Yard Track 1 at North Yard so a full inspection can take place as the train has to travel over 1,500 miles.

Typically a reroute of some sort. On this Sunday, a 108 car grain shuttle made its way down the east slope of the Moffat. An SD70ACe leads the shuttle out of the east end of Rocky on a clear signal.

This GP15-1 has definitely seen better days! The unit was delivered to Missouri Pacific in September 1979 and was moved to the UP roster in November 1990. Judging from this shot, this paint scheme is probably the only UP paint that has ever been applied. That's some mighty faded gray paint.
