Some of the recent rains are evident in a few pools on the ground as a unit pipe train rolls through Strasburg as the sun sets behind a large thundercloud.

Just west of Bennett, a unit UP pipe train is led by a good looking BNSF SD75I Warbonnet. A bit of pink is still holding on to the north as this shot was taken during the same minute as the sunset. The train is moving along US-36 near track speed, around 45 MPH.

Light is fading quickly and the ISO on the camera is getting bumped up just as fast! This UP unit pipe train is being led by an all-BNSF consist. The BNSF units would ultimately be removed in Denver before the train continued west to Empire, CO on the Craig Branch.

With light almost gone in the western sky, this unit pipe train is entering the siding at Mesa to clear up for an eastbound coal load. Even though the Limon Sub operates under track warrants, there is an ABS island at both ends of Mesa, allowing the dispatcher to throw the switch, saving the crew quite a bit of time.
