Up until May 2004, this unit was one of 35 Chicago North Western AC4400CWs (CNW 8824). On this day, the unit was leading the CWEEG-05 - currently tied down in the siding at Cliff.

Problems, problems, problems! Sounds like a coal load that was having some problems prevented the Ski Train from being able to be wyed at Tabernash. The power run around the train (note SKTX 283 in the lead instead of the typical SKTX 242). Passengers in the Kansas, Utah and California have a front seat view of the power!

At the east end of Cliff, the last DPU unit on a westbound coal train does a nice job catching the morning light. This westbound would untimately be tied down while waiting for an eastbound coal load in emergency just west of Cliff.

The last in a parade of five westbounds to come out of Denver, this coal empty has a clear signal on the main track at Cliff. Ahead of this westbound is another coal empty, the MNYPV, the Ski Train, and Amtrak 5!

I wasn't sure how this shot was going to come out at the time I took it, but I am actually very happy with the results. UP 6067 leads 13 units (only three of which were online and working) in a light power move between North Yard and Grand Junction. These units will be added as mid-train and end-train helpers in Grand Junction for coal loads coming east.
