You can seen the line of cars on CO-40 in the background, stretching just about as far as the eye can see, filled with people coming out to see the Big Boy in person.

Dark clouds make for a nice backdrop as the blade train passes by the field. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

With the downturn in coal, things have really slowed down on the KP. As few as 1 or 2 trains per 24-hour period is not uncommon! This train was able to run from Byers, CO to Sharon Springs, KS without any meets. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 106083 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, June 12, 2016 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Deer Trail Deer Trail, CO 1629 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Limon (UP) Union Pacific At 3:45am, a crew was called to hop on a "blade train" (a train with electricity-generating windmill blades) that was tied down in the siding at Mesa. The train departed Mesa around 5:45am. I got trackside just east of Deer Trail, the first spot where sunlight came out from behind morning clouds. Here, UP 1983 leads the train in the morning sun.
