A couple miles north of Ault, UP's MNYNP is rolling north toward Nunn where it will take the siding. UP 6936 was set out in Denver due to mechanical issues after leading an engineering special over the Moffat the day before. Here, it is being moved back to Cheyenne.

A great profile shot of UP 6936, the only active DDA40X left in existence. Granted, in this instance, it is DIC (Dead In Consist) for the trip to Cheyenne due to some mechanical issues that need to be worked out.

The MNYNP is passing through Pierce on its trip north toward Cheyenne. The train is fairly unremarkable on this day with a string of covered hoppers. Granted, the statement "fairly unremarkable" does not take into consideration the DDA40X in the consist.

Not far south of Nunn, I got a good shot (in good light, that is) of UP 6936, the only DDA40X left on UP's roster.

UP's MNYNP is stopped in the siding at Nunn. The train was originally going to wait for a southbound, but said southbound had brake issues and the dispatcher ended up sending the MNYNP north without meeting anything.

Hopefully you aren't too tired of the UP 6936 roster shots. I try not to beat roster shots to death, but with the longest diesel unit ever built, it's kinda hard not to get a lot of shots! Who knows when next the unit will run wild on the rails.

Not far north of Nunn, the MNYNP charges north amid threats of a summer storm to the west. Save for the fact that the GE's are way too new, this shot harkens back to the 1960's and 1970's when you could find all kinds of crazy mixed power on UP, including DDA40X's and DD35's.

In between Nunn and Carr on the Greeley Sub, this southbound has a clear signal in an afternoon downpour. Even though I'm not too crazy about the aesthetics of the SD70ACe, I am and always been an EMD guy at heart, so I'm thrilled to see if leading!
