However, this particular train left Roper much later than normal. Consequently, it is late afternoon when it is arriving in town.

A few people sit in the back of the Kansas and use the vestibule lights to observe the tracks behind them. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

While it looks like the intermediate signal at Kipling is red (left side of the shot), it is actually flashing yellow (Advanced Approach). The red is a result of the long exposure to capture the "blur". Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A rare visitor to Colorado, an F59PH leads the train. The unit is probably going for maintenance in Chicago (or Beech Grove).

The train had a great run, making the entire trip in about three hours!

Interestingly enough, the train itself is headed for the Savage Mine in Utah. Rather than running on the already-busy Overland Route through Wyoming, many Savage trains are sent west via Colorado and the Utah desert.

Four of the 14 cars (plus the three private cars) made up the consist for the trip. A day before this picture, the train went up to Winter Park and spent the night tied down on the Fraser siding.

Clear skies could be found to the east while a thunderstorm rolls in over the front range of the Rockies. This is BNSFs QSTDVJ-04, which was almost 7,000 feet long when it left Grand Junction! At this point, the train was about 6,000 feet long after dropping off several cars in Kremmling. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Two of the three geeps on this Rocky Local are former Grande units.
