The partly cloudy skies were playing havoc with the lighting for this shot of a military train at Limon, CO. Not too far in the distance is the interchange point between UP and the KYLE railroad, a short line that operates in western Kansas and eastern Colorado. Once upon a time, the KYLE trackage was owned by Rock Island.

West of Byers, CO, the Limon Sub leaves US-40 in order to make a sweeping curve up a bit of a grade. Near the top of the grade, the tracks pass underneath I-70. This shot was taken near that underpass. The tail end of the train is just barely visible over the equipment a few cars behind the power.

This long lens shot turned out a smidge distorted, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to post a shot with planes, train and automobiles all in the same shot (that is, if you consider the military equipment "automobiles"!) ... The plain above is a FedEx cargo jet (an MD-11, to be exact) on final approach at Denver International Airport. The train, in the meantime, is preparing to tie down on the siding at Sable to await a recrew.
