UP 6321 leads a coal empty west toward the crossing at Blue Mountain Road. Something worth noting is that UP 6321 started life in scarlet and gray! At its birth in 1995, this was SP 277. Any evidence of its original heritage is now long since gone as it wears the full flag and wings logo now.

One of the older GEs on the roster these days, an AC4400CW, and one of the newer GEs on the roster, an ET44AC, are two of the leaders on this westbound coal empty at Blue Mountain Road.

Under a high June sun, a westbound UP coal empty works its way through the S-Curves at Blue Mountain Road. Rumor has it that the mines at West Elk and Energy have picked up some new coal contracts. Hopefully, that'll mean a few more UP coal trains showing up!

Running on some Approach (yellow) signals, BNSF 4245 and two fellow BNSF GEs keep pulling the Denver-Provo west through Barbara's Gulch. The signal at east Rocky is currently red as the dispatcher is working to clear up some maintenance.

BNSF's daily westbound manifest out of Denver, destined for Pueblo, slowly makes its way through the narrowest part of Barbara's Gulch, just east of Rocky. The train is slowing as it had an Approach (yellow) signal at the last intermediate. However, upon getting around the bend, they will find a Clear (green) signal waiting for them.
