A southbound manifest from Green River, WY holds the main at Platteville. It is waiting for the arrival of a northbound (that will run through the siding) before continuing south to Denver.

Union Pacific has been slowly replacing the signals along the Greeley Sub. The signal at south Platteville has yet to be replaced. While the signal hasn't been replaced, the codeline has. Not the ATCS radio tower seemingly coming up out of the middle of the lead unit.

US-85 parallels the Greeley Sub for most of the trip from Hazeltine to Nunn. Here, cars heading north on the highway are likely indifferent to the MNPNY-20, which is approaching the south switch of Platteville.

Each day, UP runs a manifest from North Yard to North Platte, NE. Likewise, there is a counterpart train that runs from North Platte back to North Yard. Here, the MNPNY crosses the grade crossing in Platteville, CO.

After nearly three years, the Espee Heritage Unit finally made its way to Denver. It came in the night before on the Moffat. Didn't hang out long! It headed north on the MNYNP the following day. Here, the MNYNP sits in the siding at Platteville, CO.

A last bit of light shines through here at Platteville before afternoon storm clouds totally take over. UP 1996 came through Denver for the first time. Here, the train sits on the siding at Platteville to wait for a southbound.

At Platteville, this manifest takes the siding to meet a southbound manifest which is currently a few miles to the north.
