An eastbound BNSF officer's special (train symbol OSTODEN2-11) glides down the main at Plain in semi-cloudy morning light. This would be the only train to sneak through this morning as UP has dedicated work windows for maintenance crews between sunrise and around 12:30pm. During these work windows, the westbound Zephyr is holding at Union Station in Denver until 12:30pm.

An eastbound BNSF officer's special wraps around the hoppers on Big Ten Curve. The sun was playing a little hide and seek with the clouds, but fortunately came out for the shot on the curve.

Just a minute or so earlier, this eastbound BNSF special was on the upper track in this shot, moving from right to left. After going around Big Ten Curve, it is now approaching a clear signal at Rocky and moving left to right.

With clear signals set up for the rest of the run in to Denver, this eastbound BNSF officer's special moves quickly along CO-72 about 3/4 of a mile west of Leyden. Shorter days are making for less and less sun on the north side of shots like this.
