Photo ID: 104039 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, November 29, 2011 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 2028 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific At first glance, it might seem as though there is nothing unusual in this shot. Just a group of units hanging out at the ready tracks in North Yard. However, upon closer inspection, note the unit on the left side of the shot. That is a former Espee GP40P-2. The steam generator has of course long since been removed, but the extended long hood and the angled radiators remain. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

So it was really great seeing a matched pair of Belle's on a military special in Denver. As it turns out, this is the first ES44 Retro-Belle that I've seen!

Photo ID: 104036 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, November 29, 2011 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 2281 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific, Kansas City Southern A Military Special came into Denver off the Limon Sub overnight. It crossed the Belt Main and entered the Main Track at CP DS002. After pulling down to Fox Junction, the crew on the train was ready to depart south on the Joint Line for Fort Carson. But BNSF wasn't ready for the train! With Amtrak coming, the train had to make a reverse move to get in the clear in the North Yard Siding. That worked out well for me as I got a shot of it backing down the main. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Okay, so it may not be obvious at first glance that this is a familiar face. Until September 1, 2005, this was DRGW 3105. It spent nearly five years running as a patched until. However, it recently made a visit to North Little Rock and got truly assimilated by UP! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

These cars are self-propelled, can go up to 70 MPH, and can record every detail about and defect in the rails as they move along. I happened to come across the car sitting in the storage yard in North Yard on this Saturday afternoon. I came in on the Limon Sub earlier in the day, and should be heading for the Joint Line the next day. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Consequently, UP has been keeping this snow bus on hand, just it case it is needed. If there is a snow storm in the the area that shuts down highways, this snow bus can be used to transport crews.

This AC4400CW was CNW 8829 up until June 2004 when it received its patch. Considering it has been 14 years since the UP/CNW merger, I'd say this unit is looking pretty darn good!

After several years, I finally got the chance to shoot Ringling Brothers mile-long circus train. This is the "Red Train", one of two trains the circus operates. The other one being the "Blue Train". This train tends to do more shows west of the Mississippi and the Blue Train is usually east of the Mississippi. The circus hauls all of its own equipment, so everything for the shows is kept in these containers! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
