Even though this shot did not have the best lighting of the day, overall I believe it was my favorite shot. UP 844 and UP 1943 are leading the Cheyenne Frontier Days train toward the Terry Ranch Road overpass just south of Speer Junction.

The grade from Greeley, CO to Speer Jct, WY is a consist climb northbound. However, the grade increases from an average of 1% to 1.2% north of Carr. The Cheyenne Frontier Days train slows down a bit for the climb as UP 844 has work hard to pull the passenger train. Here, the train is rounding the curve toward Terry Ranch Road.

After a long pull north from Denver, this coal train (that originated at the Energy mine on the Craig Branch) is nearing its next crew change point at Cheyenne. This shot is looking east at Terry Ranch Road just south of Cheyenne.
