An RTD Light Rail train departs from the recently-relocated south Denver Station. This train is headed for the "W" Line. The "W" Line was completed a few months ago and largely follows the old BN Federal Branch right of way heading west. It ultimately terminates at the Jefferson County Building near Golden.

After coming down the Greeley Subdivision from Cheyenne, UP 844 (and train) entered UP's 36th Street facing south. However, in order to prepare for Saturday's departure, the train was wyed in 36th Street, using a bit of Limon Sub to get the job done. Here, the train is almost all the way back into Union Station.

UP 844 slowly backs up into Union Station. Behind UP 844, UPP 814 (the Joe Jordan) is the "water bottle" for the train. This car provides water for the big steam unit for the duration of the trip.

Riding in style! At $300/ticket, citizens of Colorado were able to ride with Governor Ritter on his whistle stop tour of the front range between Greeley and Pueblo.

It had been rumored that the E-units were going to be the power on Bill Ritter's Governor's Special. That rumor turned out to be false and SD70M's were used instead. UP did a wonderful job of finding two clean units. In this shot, the train is about to pass underneath Park Avenue in Denver on the approach to Union Station.

On the approach to Union Station, you can clearly see the four vista domes on the train along the top. On the last car, Governor Bill Ritter is waiting for the stop in Denver.

UP 1989 from nose to tail! I love the mountains at the front of the long hood and on the cab. Long time since there was a new unit with fly letters too!

The tail end of UP 1989. Those four stripes look extremely sharp. Great color scheme!

The day after the Rio Grande Heritage Unit is unveiled, the unit was open to the public from 9am to 12pm. There were far fewer people here (and no passenger cars), making for slightly better images.
