In other words, the sun is always behind the train. With F40PH 406 on the tail end of the Winter Park Express, however, this going away shot at Rollins in morning sunlight looks pretty darn nice.

One such overpass crosses UP's 36th Street Yard in Denver. This offers a new perspective on the yard that was not previously possible! Here, we can see units used on locals and for switching in the yard (to the right), and some units on the "ready track" to the left. Those units (to the left) will be used on the MDVSI (Manifest, Denver, CO to Salina, KS). Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
