UP 4014 and UP 4015 head up UP's 2021 steam excursion train west of Watkins, CO. In the distance, on the left side of the shot, there is a control tower. This is for Colorado Air and Space Port (KCFO), a small airport only a few miles away from Denver International Airport.

Just west of the town of Watkins, there is a great curve that has good lighting for eastbounds in the mornings and westbound in the afternoons. It worked out quite nicely that UP 4014 was making its way west at the curve in the late afternoon! Kinda nice how the curve almost entirely obscures UP 4015, the SD70M helper, in the train.

There is a long curve and nice wooden bridge just a few miles west of Watkins, CO. There is some rain in the area as the next week is predicted to bring a LOT of precipitation in Colorado. The train is moving at a descent clip...in fact, if you look closely, you can see a bit of coal dust blowing off the hoppers on the left side of the shot.

An eastbound coal train just west of Watkins, CO has an eastern visitor helping out on the point. It was good to frame up a coal train in the viewfinder as it is getting harder to find and shoot coal train, particularly UP coal trains, in the Denver area.
