Photo ID: 107581 Date Shot Photo By Monday, July 2, 2018 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP K627 (West Mesa) Aurora, CO 1148 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Limon (UP) Union Pacific I must admit, the more I see the Missouri Pacific heritage unit, the more I like it! I have always been a fan of the "Jenks Blue" (the dark blue), and I have also always liked the "Screaming Eagle" on the long hood. Would be rather cool if Missouri Pacific survived to 2018 and actually had this paint scheme. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The conductor was copying a new track warrant from DS-86, and a green signal would shortly follow. The bridge in the distance is new and will carry the commuter rail line north to Denver International Airport. A major fall thunderstorm is moving in to town from the west.

However, the train will be making a 30 minute stop at Limon to wait for another track warrant. This is also one of the first shots with a new Canon 55-250mm IS lens.
