Just north of UP's engine facility, UP 844, UP 1989 and the Colorado State Fair special prepares to tie down for the day while waiting for its departure at 6pm later in the evening.

There are three fully-operational GP7's preserved by the Pueblo Railway Museum. The units are all Colorado & Wyoming and one of the three (#102) is painted in a very festive bicentennial scheme. I caught the unit make a few moves back and forth near the depot.

Colorado & Wyoming #104 is one of three GP7's built in 1951 that have been wonderfully preserved by the Pueblo Railway Museum. The units are fully operable and make small trips around some of the yard tracks near the Pueblo Depot.

About eight miles north of Bragdon, this BNSF manifest is moving quickly on Main 2 headed for Denver. It had a great consist...I particularly liked the GP60M second out!

Just south of Crews, this northbound manifest is slowing down on a yellow signal. The train will have to hold up at Crews for nearly an hour while waiting for Maintenance to clear up ahead.

Who would have thought that such a sign could still be found in 2007? At Crews, the southbound main breaks away from the northbound main (it is the diverging route). Temporarily, both tracks are owned by BNSF. Once on the original DRGW alignment, the southbound main switch ownership - today it goes back to UP. Once upon a time, it was (of course) Rio Grande. This sign still stands at Crews, showing the old ownerships.

The Colorado Springs local appears to be staged and ready to roll at Colorado Springs. I thought it was interesting to find a caboose cut into the consist two cars back! UP 1350 was DRGW 3100 until January 2006. It was one of the last GP40-2's to get patched.
