Four units lead a southbound Z-Train on the Greeley Sub between La Salle and Platteville. The train is making track speed on the trip south, making it very hard to catch up to for subsequent shots. Turns out this would be the last shot in daylight before the sun would set anyway.

Just south of La Salle, UP 7620 is leading the ZLADV-12 just minutes before the sun sets behind the Colorado Rockies to the west. The height of golden hour!

UP 4014 is kicking up just a little bit of smoke as the train charges south on the main track just north of Platteville. The train is making track speed down the Greeley Sub, usually 50-60 MPH in most locations.

There is a very decent curve just north of Platteville where the tracks curve around from a southwest heading to a southern heading (for southbounds). UP 4014 and train are rounding that curve here, coming up on a clear (green) signal at the north end of Platteville.
