The train sat at Sable on the KP for three days due to two bad order cars. They were finally set out and the train made a dusk departure out of Denver.

I stopped to wait for a train, but alas, one never came along. But, who says you have to have a train to have a nice picture.

And, interestingly, four of the five units models are unique and each of the five units is wearing a different paint scheme! First up is an SD70ACe in KCS Retro-Belle paint. Next is an AC4400CW in KCS Gray pint. Third is a typical BNSF Dash-9 in Heritage II. Fourth is a beat up Warbonnet C40-8W. Last but not least is a very new SD70ACe in the New Image scheme.

UP's DS-86 put it in the hole at Leyden because BNSF's 31st Street Yard doesn't have room for the train yet. A sharp-looking Kansas City Southern Retro-Belle leads the train.

In this five minute exposure taken around 11:00pm, and eastbound manifest streaks east past the intermediate on the approach to Yarmony. All the trees and bushes were lit up by the headlight of the train. Note the signal dropping from green to red and the FRED flashing on the back of the train.

Amtrak 5 is just coming through Bond so this 10,000 ton train has to stop momentarily to let Amtrak proceed west. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
