UP 7709 is pulling an empty train of coal hoppers out of Xcel Energy's Cherokee power plant. This is a scene that, supposedly, will not be reproducible by the end of 2014. Xcel is in the process of converting the Cherokee plant to run exclusively on natural gas. Once complete, UP will be losing a major coal customer in Denver!

After picking up a train of empty coal hoppers at Xcel's Cherokee Power Plant in northeast Denver, the crew on this "Public Service" train is headed for North Yard. Upon arriving, swing power will be added as well as power to the rear end and it will depart west for the Energy Mine on the Craig Branch.
