However, a derailment in Emmett, KS has resulted in the KOAMN being rerouted through Denver on its journey from Oakland, CA to Memphis, TN. Here, the train is stopped in the siding at Sable.

The conductor from the coal empty at the left will take care of aligning the switch at west Sable to the main and setting the derail to the "derail" position.

Photo ID: 102065 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, May 10, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Sable Aurora, CO 1921 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Limon (UP) Union Pacific This long lens shot turned out a smidge distorted, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to post a shot with planes, train and automobiles all in the same shot (that is, if you consider the military equipment "automobiles"!) ... The plain above is a FedEx cargo jet (an MD-11, to be exact) on final approach at Denver International Airport. The train, in the meantime, is preparing to tie down on the siding at Sable to await a recrew. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 102064 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, May 10, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Sable Aurora, CO 1841 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Limon (UP) Union Pacific With only a few hours left to work and no new crew called, this military train is pulling into the siding at Sable to tie down in order to wait for a recrew. I chased this train about 115 miles across the Colorado plains, yet this was quite probably the best light I had the whole day!

Photo ID: 101988 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 13, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Sable Denver, CO 1807 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Limon (UP) Union Pacific Even though only two of the eight units in this shot are actually on, it still isn't very often you see so many units on a train these days! The six 40-series units being towed are: WP 7888, UP 3167, UP 9872, UP 8860, UP 3144 and WP 7901. (Incidentally, UP uses "WP" on units that are scheduled for retirement -- it does not represent a unit that was once on the Western Pacific roster!)

With the behind the camera, the blue in the sky is very vibrant! Note that this coal empty has second generation power (CEFX 2802, a former UP SD40-2 and HLCX 5969, a former UP/CNW SD60)…and that's it!
