The crew on UP 6873 brought the AC4400CW out of North Yard over to Stapleton here on the Limon Sub. The unit is sitting on Main 1, getting ready to enter the yard. You can see there are a lot of cars waiting. 84 cars in all, plus a GP40-2 and an SD40-2. The crew will have to triple over to build the train.

Limon (UP) Union Pacific
I shot the Limon Local a week earlier, and the leader the crew was given was in much better shape than this AC4400CW! This particular unit is probably wearing the same paint as when it was delivered to Union Pacific in November 1995. An interesting note about this unit. It was actually ordered by Chicago North Western. But it was ready for delivery after the UP acquired the CNW, so it was delivered in UP colors.

After spending two hours pulling cars out of the yard at Stapleton, the Limon Local is getting close to being ready to depart east. However, the conductor still has to walk the entire 84-car train to make sure all the hand brakes have been released.

The conductor has finally walked the train to make sure all the hand brakes are released. The engineer is now on the train alone, and the conductor is going to watch the train roll by to, again, ensure there are no sticking hand brakes for the journey east to Limon.

The Limon Local rolls by the signals at the control point CP K632 at Havana Street. The train is rolling by relatively slowly, as the conductor is examining the train to ensure the hand brakes have all been released.

The conductor for the Limon Local is closely watching the train as it rolls by on Main 1 eastbound. He is looking at the brakes on each car is rolls by to ensure all brakes have been released. After the train completely rolls by, the conductor will get a ride to the head end for the train to continue east onto the plains.

At the siding of Mesa, UP's Limon Local is headed east on the main track. The sun was just a few minutes away from poking out from behind the clouds, but it set up this interesting mix of light and dark! The training is approaching the east end of CTC on the Limon Sub. After passing by the east switch of Limon, the train enters track warrant territory.
