It's pretty unusual to catch a UP coal train on the Joint Line these days. UP puts sufficient power on its coal trains to make descent speed up the hill to Palmer Lake. Which is why it was fortunate that this train was on the tail of a BNSF load that was dragging up the hill.

Traffic was SLOW moving on the roads during this blizzard! Slow enough that I was unable to reach the head end of this southbound manifest along the I-25 frontage road south of Castle Rock. I had to setup and settle for a shot of the H1 Dash-9 DPU on the tail end.
