UP 4014, UP 9625, a handful of passenger cars, 11 freight cars, and a caboose back up on the Belt Industrial Lead. The train will back up all the way across the Belt Line to UP Junction to join the Greeley Sub and then proceed north to Cheyenne.

At Utah Junction, UP 4014 crosses BNSF's Front Range Subdivision on the Belt Industrial Lead. The train is actually backing up in this shot, making it way (backward) to the Greeley Sub to depart north to Cheyenne.

Today's MNYNP will have an all-EMD consist, including a pair of Norfolk Southern units being borrowed by UP. The unit featured in this shot is an SD70M-2. Even though EMD released them at the start of 2005, I've seen fewer than a dozen in the last 11 years. Neither UP nor BNSF bought any, so they don't show up in Colorado too often.

UP's MNYNP is shuffling some cars around in North Yard before it can head north toward Cheyenne. In order to have enough room to switch cars around over a few tracks, it actually enters the Belt Industrial Lead. My favorite type of engine since the GP60 will be leading the train - an SD70M with flared radiators.

DRGW 5371, the 6th of 6 units on the MNYNP-08, leaves North Yard behind - possibly for the last time - as the manifest prepares to take its train and head north toward Cheyenne.
