Nothing like sunflowers and sunrises (and trains, of course). Just before 8am on this September morning, an eastbound coal load has clear signals at Chemical. Within the next five to ten years, this location could change quite dramatically as there is talk of completing the "470" highway loop around Denver. The plans call for the highway to cross the tracks right around this location.

Three AC4400CW's are setup elephant style as swing helpers on this eastbound coal load. Once the train reaches Pecos street, these swing helpers will be cut out by North Yard hostlers. The train will be put back together and will continue east toward Kansas (and points east) on the KP line.
