UP's Limon Local is pulling into the three track yard at the west end of the KYLE railroad. After dropping off 40 cars for the KYLE, the local will pick up the string of tank cars here that the KYLE left for the local.

The KYLE was formed in 1982 by the Willis B Kyle Organization after the fall of the Rock Island. The railroad has gone through several owners over the years, and since 2012, it has been owned by the Genesee & Wyoming. The railroad operate roughly 510 miles of track, with 420 miles in Kansas, and the 90 or so remaining miles in eastern Colorado.

UP 7719 leads the Limon Local right by the Limon Depot. This track was once owned by the Rock Island until its demise in 1980. Rock Island trains coming from Chicago would join the UP KP line here in Limon for the trip west to Denver. Now, the line is owned by the KYLE railroad.
