An eastbound empty autorack train crosses over Agate Creek on the eastern Colorado plains. The train is the last non-grain, non-Limon Local train that will be on the KP line for the foreseeable future. The autoracks are going in to storage on the main at Jim, along with two other strings of autoracks that will be stored on both the main and siding at Jim, blocking the KP as a through route. Traffic heading east out of Denver will now have to go north to Cheyenne and east on the Overland.

Moving along at track speed west of Agate, got a bit of a pan shot of UP 1983. Along with the Rio Grande heritage unit, the Western Pacific wears the best-looking paint scheme of the six (in my opinion). Hard to believe it has been over 10 years since this heritage unit was first unveiled!

Union Pacific's heritage units do not grace the Denver-Metro area too often these days. However, the Western Pacific heritage unit made a quick swing through Denver in June 2016. It picked up a blade train in Greeley and then headed east on the KP toward Kansas and points beyond.

A profile shot of the Western Pacific heritage unit as it crosses a short bridge several minutes west of Agate. UP 1983 led a windmill blade train east on the KP early in the morning.
