All too often, as a rail photography, I curse the code line along the tracks for getting in the way of shots. With the advent of newer technologies, code line is starting to disappear! So perhaps it is time to start incorporating it in more shots before it is completely gone.

A military special (on the left) is rolling north on the siding at Brighton while the MNPNY (on the right) is rolling south on the main. Turned out to be a well-timed meet! UP 5594 - on the special - was in Brighton less than two weeks earlier on an Operation Lifesaver Special train with UP 1989!

UP's daily MNPNY (North Platte, NE to North Yard, CO) heads down the main track at Brighton. The train is on an approach signal because it will be meeting a military special here at Brighton.

My last shot of headlights from another train reflecting off the side of the Ski Train. At Brighton, the train held in the siding to wait for the ZLADV, quickly zooming down the main.

A photographer for Operation Lifesaver (I assume) looks out the cab door of UP 5594 as the OLS train slowly starts to head south toward the south end of the siding at Brighton. And interesting looking special to be sure, with only a caboose between the two units.

A nice look at the Operation Lifesaver Special in Brighton...if only the officers that just recently climbed on board had remembered to close the door on the nose!

A look at the tail end (and "properly-lit") side of UP 1989. It is sitting on the siding at Brighton, waiting for is Operation Lifesaver train to continue its days work.

For this Operation Lifesaver Special, a UP Bayside Caboose is being used. The caboose is sandwiched in between two units, allowing them to operate in a push-pull operation.

A group of Operation Lifesaver officials and police (both from the Colorado State Patrol and Adams County PD) climb up onto UP 5594. The OLS train will run through crossing and watch for people running around the crossing gates.

The DRGW Heritage Unit is working an Operation Lifesaver train on the Greeley Sub on this particular day. The day before, the unit went to Burnham and got a top-to-bottom cleaning for the event!

UP 1989 sits on the siding at Brighton as a northbound UP manifest passes by on the main track. UP 1989 is part of an Operation Lifesaver train that is about to take on a whole bunch of police!
