One of my personal favorite units of all time is EMD's SD70M. When first released, UP put in the largest single order (to that date) with 1,000 units. They followed that up over 400 additional orders. UP 4059 is one such unit, sitting at Eaton off the main track.

This is a paint scheme that I am definitely going to miss! Granted, Kansas City Southern units don't make it to Colorado particularly often, but when they do, they are great to see. With the merger of CP and KCS, creating CPKC, both the Canadian Pacific and KCS paint schemes will be replaced by a new scheme.

UP's MNPDV-17 is putting its train together at Eaton to prepare for the continued trip south. In the foreground is a irrigation pivot, used to water one of the many fields found on the farmland of eastern Colorado.

KCS 4121, leading the MNPDV, is dropping off 70 covered hoppers off the main here at Eaton. The rest of the train, consisting of double stacks and auto racks is sitting on the main to the left.

There is a relatively new industry in Eaton, CO that needs covered hoppers...a lot of covered hoppers. Not sure if these are sand hoppers for fracking. But UP's MNPDV is dropping off 70 such covered hoppers this morning.

Take a look at UP's newest paint scheme! After two decades of the American flag on the long hood and wings on the nose, UP has changed their official paint scheme. The flag has been moved to either side of the short hood and the long nose just reads "Union Pacific" again. The wings have also, sadly, been removed from the nose.

UP 6964 was originally built as a 6000 HP AC6000CW. It has been rebuilt (and repainted) as a standard 4400 HP C44ACM.

UP has spun up a pretty serious rebuild program for older (mid-90s to mid-2000s) GE. UP 7154 is one such example, which is now designated as an C44ACM.

With the recent merger between Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern, the amazing "Retro-Belle" paint scheme will be disappearing in the coming years. KCS units don't show up that often in Colorado as is, so it's great to get shots whenever possible.

UP's MNPDV has tied down half the train on the main (in the background) so that 70 covered hoppers can be dropped off here at Eaton, CO. There is a bit of color on the train today with KCS 4121 on the point.

UP's Greeley Sub has a large number of industries that are served in most of the towns the line passes through. The town of Eaton is no exception, as you can see the various industries lined up along the mainline as a southbound manifest rolls on clear (green) signals through the middle of town.

NS 4004 leads 112 empty covered hoppers, headed for South St Paul, MN. For this shot, I am standing at the now-closed Hwy 72 grade crossing. It appears that UP has been making a considerable effort to close as many crossing along the Greeley Sub as possible. I noted at least five grade crossing that had been closed in the past few years.

Just north of Greeley, the ZLADV has slowed considerably for the trip through downtown Greeley. Here, the train is coming through the town of Eaton.
