A northbound manifest (the MNYNP-09) sits in the siding at La Salle near the depot. The train, led by two SD9043MAC's, is waiting for a southbound Z-Train which is just north of Greeley. The train is stopped near the depot to keep from blocking crossing in La Salle. Three UP SD40-2s idle away in the yard awaiting local duty.

This southbound Z-Train (the ZSCDV-08) was wasting no time on its way south on the Greeley Sub. The two units were keeping the train at track speed (right around 60 MPH) along Highway 85. The train had doublestacks at the front and UPS trailers on the rear.

After meeting a southbound Z-Train at Hazeltine, this unique consist of American Orient Express cars departs north on the Greeley Sub. I believe the cars are being sent to Colorado Railcar in Fort Lupton. Summer afternoon clouds were building to the east of Denver over the plains.
