A C44AC-CTE brings up the rear of this eastbound coal train, loaded at the Somerset mine on the North Fork branch in western Colorado. The unit is facing the "wrong way", which really only means anything to railfans! In reality, thanks to DPU technology, the direction the DPU's are facing is irrelevant.

Up close and personal! A good look at the C44AC-CTE leading this eastbound coal train at Crescent. UP was the only railroad to purchase the C44AC-CTE, which looks identical to an AC4400CW. From what I understand, the differences are internal and relate to emissions standards set forth by the EPA.

UP has been doing a lot of maintenance on the Moffat between Plain and Rollins in the last few weeks. Here, a work train sits on the siding west of the crossing at Crescent. The train just go in the clear in order to allow a westbound to come through on the main.
