After running from Denver to Cheyenne with UP 4014 on the point, completing the 2025 steam excursion, the passenger equipment and UP 1616 (plus UP 4404 added) returned south down the Greeley Sub to Denver with UP 1616 leading! The exact purpose for the trip is not known, but the train is once again being kept in the storage yard. Note the "rent-a-cop" car from a company UP has hired to ensure nothing happens to the train (graffiti, etc).

I've been lucky enough to capture some shots of UP 1616 a couple of times now, but this is the first time I've been able to get a shot of it when its nose is not coupled to something else! It is leading a passenger train that is supposedly going to sit here in the North Yard storage yard for a few days before departing. Departing where...unknown at the time of this picture!

A good side shot of the Abraham Lincoln unit as it sits in Denver in the North Yard storage yard, near the grain elevator. I am not sure what inspired UP to create this unit, honoring the 16th President. Nor am I complaining. It looks great. Just not sure what the motivation was for creating it.

I wanted to get a close up shot of the nose of UP 1616, making sure to get a close up of the portrait of Abraham Lincoln himself, the 16th President of the United States.

UP 1616, leading a UP passenger special, sits tied down in the storage yard at North Yard while the morning California Zephyr, running a few minutes late, rolls by on the main track. Wonder how many people on the train took note of the specially painted SD70M?

After making its way through the western suburbs of Denver, the California Zephyr is now entering the rural Rocky Mountains as it heads west on the main track at Plain.

AMTK 146 and AMTK 78 lead the California Zephyr west as it exists out of Tunnel 3, a brief blast of sunlight before it will duck into Tunnel 4, out of view to the right.
