On December 30, however, UP 3000 led a westbound train from Denver to Grand Junction. The power was wyed in Grand Junction and UP 3000, along with an SD70M, was added to the point of an eastbound coal load! The duo, along with the standard DPU compliment in the middle and end of the train, made the trip back east on New Year's Day 2021, see here leaving the siding at Lacy after the eastbound Zephyr ran around the train.

Amazing what a difference a day can make. Yesterday, #5 and #6 met at East Portal, about 170 miles to the east! Then, #5 was almost nine hours late. Today, #5 is on time, but #6 is running about three hours late. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The overpass is not a bad spot to grab a shot of a train! Here, a late-running California Zephyr (with an SD70M helping on the point) approaches. Note the Lounge Car first up after the baggage car. A part of an interesting configuration while the Zephyr is running with only six Superliners. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Some days, the local will make it as far as Gypsum on the Tennessee Pass Sub, but most days it only makes it as far as Lacy. There are several industries here that will be switched by the local. The train will enter the siding and the power will run around the train to perform the switching before heading back to Grand Junction.
