Photo ID: 106770 Date Shot Photo By Monday, December 4, 2017 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed West of Strasburg, CO Arapahoe County, CO 1120 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Limon (UP) Union Pacific The weather on the plains was a little odd on this afternoon. In general, things were sunny...however, there were a few random flurries blowing around. In the summer, these probably would've been random rain showers. This UP special is just east of Strasburg and is approaching a Form B. The bridge over the tracks in Strasburg is being replaced.

I really like the look of the long line of uniform tank cars. A single DPU pushes behind the "buffer" car located at the tail end of the westbound oil empty.

It would have been great to have this good looking Warbonnet on the point, but having it facing the "correct direction" as the sole DPU works too. The train is passing through downtown Strasburg, CO on its journey west toward Denver. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 105164 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, May 3, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Strasburg Strasburg, CO 1330 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Limon (UP) Union Pacific, BNSF As the push to move from coal to oil and natural gas continues, long unit trains of hoppers are slowly being replaced by long unit trains of tank cars. That's good news for some lines out there, one of which is the UP Limon Sub. Other than a daily freight and a few locals, the Limon Sub is primarily supplied by coal trains. Fortunately, oil trains will hopefully help to bring traffic to a line that is seeing a decrease in coal. Here, an empty oil train heads west through Strasburg, about 35 miles east of Denver.

In the distance, some kids play tag in the park, apparently indifferent to the quick-moving eastbound. UP 6358 was SP 313 until receiving its yellow patch over a decade ago on May 30, 2003.

If you look, you can just see I-70 near the top-left corner of the picture. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

In the distance, you can see I-70 and even Longs Peak, still standing tall along the Front Range. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

There were probably three dozen railfans around taking pictures. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Even though most of the train is hidden by steam, I really liked the way the steam appeared to roll up the hill. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
