A look at Union Station from the Wewatta street bridge. Amtrak's cars are lined on Track Two (along with a pair of P42DCs). Norfolk Southern and BNSF cars are parked away on Track Three.

Half of the cars that will be heading to Saint Paul (for the Republican National Convention) are being pulled out of Track Four at Union Station. In the distance, not the headlight of UP 844 which will run down Track Four to get out of the station.

UP has pulled out half of the special that will be headed for Saint Paul for the Republican National Convention. The train will pause here while UP 844 comes out of the station. Then, the train will back up to the station and pick up the other half of the train.

As UP 844 is crossing over from Track Two to Track One at Union Station, it is blowing off some steam from its pistons. After being on display all week for the Democratic National Convention, it is time for the mighty steam engine to return to Cheyenne.

When old versus new or perhaps the other way around! EMD's newest model, an SD70ACe, on the right sits alongside a 64-year-old Alco 4-8-4. UP 1989 is backing into Union Station to pick up cars for a passenger train.

In the quickly fading sun, UP 844 slowly pulls out of Union Station in front of the Denver skyline. The train is preparing to pull passenger equipment out of Denver (which was present for the Democratic National Convention) to go to Saint Paul for the Republican National Convention. UP 844, however, would only be going as far as Cheyenne.

After helping setup a UP passenger train (headed for Saint Paul for the Republican National Convention), UP 1989 is set out as it won't be joining the rest of the equipment for the trip. More than likely, within a few days, UP 1989 will be back in night service on the Joint Line!
