Photo ID: 113658 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, April 7, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Sedalia Sedalia, CO 74 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Colorado Springs (UP)/Pikes Peak (BNSF) Union Pacific UP 6001 and train moved quickly south on the north end of the Joint Line. With afternoon traffic in Denver, it was not possible to get far enough ahead of the train to get a shot until here in Sedalia. This Union Pacific passenger special is coming around the bend at the north end of Sedalia under some interesting skies. Skies started overcast this morning, then cleared up for several hours. This afternoon, clouds are starting to build up again. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 113659 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, April 7, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Castle Rock Castle Rock, CO 101 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Colorado Springs (UP)/Pikes Peak (BNSF) Union Pacific This perspective is a very classic view from the Joint Line on Main 1, which wraps through a long S-Curve here and sets up a great afternoon shot with the actual rock for which the city is named in the background. A 12-car Union Pacific passenger special is headed south to Colorado Springs, where its passengers will detrain and (according to rumors) head to the world-famous Broadmoor hotel.

Photo ID: 113660 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, April 7, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Larkspur Larkspur, CO 106 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Colorado Springs (UP)/Pikes Peak (BNSF) Union Pacific This shot of this UP passenger special crossing over the classic Santa Fe bridge on the south side of Larkspur might have turned out to be my favorite shot of the day. Alas, the low light resulted in the focus slipping briefly. Consequently, the shot came out slightly blurry. Not horrible, but still, not quite the shot I was hoping for.

Photo ID: 113661 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, April 7, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Greenland to Palmer Lake Douglas County, CO 74 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Colorado Springs (UP)/Pikes Peak (BNSF) Union Pacific Broken clouds gliding through the sky is resulting in the landscape transitioning from bright sunlight to dim shade. A southbound UP passenger special on Main 1 is just south of "The Sag" and is approaching an area of shade along Spruce Mountain Road. Main 2 is visible in the distance to the top-right of the shot.

Photo ID: 113662 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, April 7, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Palmer Lake Palmer Lake, CO 86 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Colorado Springs (UP)/Pikes Peak (BNSF) Union Pacific Close to five hours after departing Fraser, CO, this Union Pacific passenger special has made it to Palmer Lake. A distance of about roughly 115 miles. Just to change things up a bit, I decided to get an elevated shot here, including the entire lake that shares a name with the town. The train has another 20-ish miles to go before arriving at Colorado Springs, where its VIP passengers (including UP CEO Jim Vena) will get off the train. The train would then continue to Pueblo to turn around and then return north, deadheading back to Council Bluffs, IA (home base for UP's passenger equipment).
