Greeley (UP) Rio Grande
While chasing a southbound coal empty, I happened to notice two Grande GP40-2's sitting side by side in the yard in La Salle! Notice that the 3109 still has a complete light package.

Just north of Brighton, this coal empty is passing through the fruited plains of eastern Colorado. Upon reaching North Yard, six units will be added to the point of this coal empty and it will run west to a mine on the North Fork branch near Grand Junction, CO.

Belt Industrial Lead (UP) Union Pacific
The east end of the Belt Main Line begins at UP Jct (DS 902). Back in the days of the Rio Grande, the Belt Line was a four mile connection between Rio Grande and Union Pacific. Today, it still used as a connection for UP to get between North Yard and 36th Street Yard, or North Yard and the Greeley Subdivision. In this shot, the train is passes underneath BNSF's Brush Sub and is about to pass underneath Brighton Blvd near York Street.
