It looks like this move is justified too as UP 3843 heads up three units on a ~5,000 foot MRONY-19 through Crescent. The MRONY has been affectionately referred to as the "Macaroni".

The train has 12,800 horses (two DC-powered, and one AC-powered) on the ~5,000 foot manifest. Another year or two and those trees will (unfortunately) obscure the view of the mainline.

Built in the 1970's, CSX is one of the only class one railroads to still have active U-Boats on the roster. One of these rare units, CSX B36-7 #5867, made an appearance in Colorado on the MLAUDEN. At the time of this photo, the 5867 was one of 87 B36-7's still on CSX's roster (in the number range 5807-5925). Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
