Since PSR (Precision Scheduled Railroading) has somewhat taken over several railroads, there are more "mixed" trains. Case-in-point is this Z-Train which has many auto racks on the front, and traditional stacks and pigs on the rear. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

In 2023, it seems that most lines, regardless of the owner, have at least one other railroad with trackage rights on their line. UP's Greeley Sub between Denver and Cheyenne is not one of those lines. UP is the owner and no other railroad has trackage rights. So these BNSF units must just be power sharing units on this northbound military train. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Not too far ahead and the dispatcher would give the train a high wind warning, with wind speeds up to 70 MPH reported. The empty trains "blow over" speed is 78 MPH, meaning the train will be able to continue to Cheyenne. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 106107 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, July 23, 2016 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North of Nunn Weld County, CO 1919 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific A local farmer in the small town of Nunn has erected a huge flag pole in his or her field. That flag offers a great backdrop as UP 844 charges north toward the US-85 overpass. Some people may wonder why a diesel engine is on the train. As powerful and amazing as UP 844 is, it alone does not have the power to keep the train moving at track speed. In order to keep the schedule, a diesel engine is added and throttles up (when needed) to assist UP 844. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The DDA40X, on the other hand, is still rated at a full 6,600 horsepower. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
