A single ES44AC is crossing over West Bijou Creek, which actually does have a little bit of water running in it right now. The grain empty is heading for Cheyenne Wells in eastern Colorado.

An eastbound empty grain train crosses over West Bijou Creek just west of Byers on its way east toward Cheyenne Wells. Once there, the train will tie down in the siding and the power will return to Denver. The train came from Eagle Pass, TX, went up to Topeka, KS, then made its way over the Overland to Cheyenne, back south to Denver, and east.

After a coal load broke in half near Buick, the KP Line came to a halt! This eastbound special stopped here, west of the siding at Byers, and held for several hours while waiting for the coal load to get on the move again.

Just west of Byers, the tracks cross over West Bijou Creek. Here, an eastbound UP special crosses over that bridge right at the same time a cloud decides to float on by. Wouldn't you know it! The special is approaching an approach signal at West Byers. However, its current track warrant will keep it 1/4 mile short from the switch.

As a result of the power shortage, the railroad leasing company CitiRail (a subsidiary of CitiBank) recently ordered 100 ES44ACs. Upon delivery, the units were leased out to BNSF. That fact makes this an interesting shot, as this is a CitiRail unit, leased to BNSF, and now being borrowed by UP on an empty oil train!

BNSF train on the Limon Sub? No, this UP oil train is just borrowing some BNSF power for the journey. The train original in St James, LA and is headed for Carr, CO where it will be loaded and return back to Louisiana. The train is crossing over the West Bijou Creek (west of Byers, CO) over a good looking truss bridge.

This little SW7 was once owned by Inland Steel. It was since sold (several times) and is now used to switch out the grain elevator located alongside the Limon Sub in Byers, CO.
