While the tops of the trees are illuminated by the rising sun, this eastbound isn't quite in the (direct) light yet as it rounds the curve near milepost 9, through the small cut in Arvada. The Colorado Rockies have had plenty of snow lately, as evidenced by the front of UP 5904.

The small cut in Arvada near milepost 9 is just high enough to keep the train in the shadows...until it rounds the curve at the east end of the cut! The three mid-train swing helpers and this coal load are rounding said curve, diving in to the bright morning light!

I was very grateful to find the end DPU on this eastbound coal train facing the "right way" as the train rounded the curve near MP 9. A fantastic mix of clouds and sun paint the background behind the lone remote unit.

This is a shot that I have been hoping to shoot for quite some time. Not necessarily at this exact location...but I've wanted to get a shot of a silhouetted train, backdropped by either a rising or setting sun. Everything came together perfectly on this morning as this eastbound train head straight into yellow/orange painting at the detector at milepost 8.4 (near Carr Street).
