The Rocky Mountaineer's typical pair of GP40-3s used on the Rockies to the Red Rocks are receiving some maintenance in UP's North Yard. A former DRGW GP40-2 sits a few feet away on the same track.

Yard Shots Rocky Mountaineer
A pair of GP40-3s, wearing the standard Rocky Mountaineer paint scheme, sit shut down on a track in UP's North Yard. Both units are getting worked on and the Rocky Mountaineer, running only Wednesday through Friday in July and August, continues to lease UP units in the meantime.

Yard Shots Rocky Mountaineer
The two Rocky Mountaineer GP40-3s that have been missing from the Rocky Moutainteer "Rockies to the Red Rocks" train were spotted near the repair shop in UP's North Yard. Presumably, the Rocky Moutaineer has contract with UP to do some work on the units. You can see RMRX 8020 with several doors on its long hood open.

UP's North Yard is fairly empty on this Sunday morning, with only a handful of units hanging around, most of those being units for yard jobs, transfers, or locals. Granted there are only four destinations for road freights that North Yard has to contend with these days: Pueblo to the south, North Platte, NE to the east, and Grand Junction to the west, and Green River, WY to the west.

Yard Shots Union Pacific
A nice, elevated look at UP 1979 and the viewing area set up by UP for its employees at North Yard. Behind the unit, we find only a handful of units around the fueling and sanding racks. The yard itself looks to be a bit on the empty side. However, it is encouraging to see an empty coal train sitting on yard track 1!

UP set ups. pretty good viewing area for the "We Are ONE" unit, UP 1979 here at North Yard in Denver. A very large tent with chairs was set up, offering some shade. Employees are welcome to come over and check out the unit when they have a break or at the start or end of their shift. Or even if they are off duty and just want to make the haul down to the yard to check it out.

The nose of UP 1979 is definitely rather creative! Behind UP's shield and wings is an orange and yellow heart, with the pink and green bands wrapping around the base from the sides of the nose. Overall, a pretty creative design to be sure! The unit is on display here for UP employees in Denver, not too far from the fuel and sand racks.

Multiple armor yellow units provide the backdrop at North Yard for UP 1979. UP painted this SD70M in a special scheme referred to as the "We Are ONE" scheme. The scheme includes the nine Employee Resource Groups that Union Pacific offers for its employees. The first such group, the Black Employee Network (or BEN) was created in 1979, indicating the reason for the number of the unit.

A top-down view of UP's "We Are ONE" unit, UP 1979. I was a little surprised to find the multi-colored design that was added to the top of the long hood. Looks pretty good!
