Forest fire in the the Oregon and Montana area have resulted in a week of very hazy skies in Colorado as prevailing winds have taken the smoke southeast. While not particularly enjoyable as the air quality has significantly decreased, the one benefit about the smoky atmosphere is a bit of red and yellow near dusk as the sun shines through the smoke. Meanwhile, a westbound UP oil empty rolls west on the single track main of the Limon Sub toward Denver.

A lot of railfans were not (and are not) a fan of the paint job on UP 1943. Personally, it is one my personal favorite specially painted units. The clever combination of Air Force silver, Navy gray, camouflage, and red, white, and blue make for a fantastic tribute to the US military. The special unit is leading a westbound oil empty on the Limon Sub across the plains of Colorado.

At MP 612 on the Limon Sub, a late evening oil empty rolls west, the town of Bennett, CO in the distance. UP 1943 has been working oil trains for several months now, and continues to do so, leading the unit train west through some of the hills of the Colorado plains. Incidentally, the milepost indicates we are 612 miles from Kansas City, MO (via UP rails).

At Sandown Junction at Ulster Street, a UP oil train heads east on Main 1 alongside RTD's A-Line that connects Union Station to Denver International Airport. This entire corridor has changed quite a bit in the past decade as RTD's commuter rail was built up. As part of the agreement to acquire some of UP's land, RTD paid for the addition of a second main track and installation of CTC through here.
