It has been almost three years since UP 1989 was uncovered and it still looks as good as it did for its first run west on the Moffat.

The MNYRO makes its way through a very foggy Barbara's Gulch, UP 1989 second up on the train. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The sun was getting low in the western sky, which really amplified the exhaust coming out of the hard-working engines! Here, they are approaching the west end of Barbara's Gulch.

I phrase it this way because I don't think it is fair to call an C40-8W "old" just yet! And an ES44AC definitely qualifies as "newest".

The grade increases through here and a bit more power is needed to get the (rather long) local up to Rocky. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The private car with the Vista Dome - California - does not run on the train in the summer months due to the difficulties in climate control. However, note the addition of the bike car directly behind the lead units. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
