It is a beautiful morning as the Ringling Brothers "Red Train" rolls through Denver. The circus was just in Colorado Springs (ending the night before) and the train is passing through Denver on its way to Las Vegas, NV. It will be back in Denver at the end of September and beginning of October, when the circus is actually in town.

Two Union Pacific units lead up the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Red Circus train near the east end of the Belt Industrial Lead. The crew quarters are up front on the train.

An eastbound coal load is approaching UP Junction at the end of the Belt Line. The train has a lunar signal and will continue at restricted speed toward the Limon Sub.

This is General Electric's demo unit for the ES44DC model. It roams around on various systems and I was really glad that I finally lucked out and caught it as the third unit on the MNYNP!

This GP38-2 has found second life as a leaser for Helm Leasing. It was the second unit out on the MNYNP, headed for North Platte, NE.

Talk about a colorful consist on the MNYNP! Out of the five units, only one of the five is actually Union Pacific. Note the third unit, GECX 2011, General Electric's ES44DC demo unit.
