An eastbound intermodal train, the third in the past half hour, charges west through Borie Jct (out of frame to the left) on Main 2. The train will stop in Cheyenne in order to get a crew change. The lead unit is an ES44AH, although UP designates it as a ET44AH-T4C. Basically, it is an ES44AH that was received as a Tier-4 "credit unit" after the Tier 4 deadline started.

Four units lead a westbound doublestack train on Main 1 west of Cheyenne. UP hauls a lot of green "EMP" containers on their intermodal trains, as is evident in this shot.

A westbound UP intermodal train heads west on Main 1 just east of Borie Jct. Note the top container on the first doublestack has a slightly different shape as it is designed to be aerodynamic and reduce wind resistance.

There are only 17 SD50's (now shown as SD50M's) on Union Pacific's roster. All 17 are former Rio Grande units. Here is one fo the 17, UP 9847 (ex-UP 5098, ex-SP 5504, nee-DRGW 5504). Note the plate on the nose where the MARS lights were once located.

A unit box train was holding on main one just west of Cheyenne, waiting for a track to open so the train could continue east. The train had a new ES44AC, an ex-DRGW SD50, and two SD70ACe's for power.
