UP 4014 and UP 1616 lead UP's passenger equipment on a special excursion at the south end of Nunn. It is overcast and a bit cooler that it has been, helping the steam coming off the Big Boy to show up a bit better.

UP 4014 is putting on a decent show as it approaches a clear (green) signal at the north switch of Carr. The trees have grown quite high here, so a bit of elevation is needed to avoid blocking the train.

North of Carr, UP 4014 leads a UP passenger special southbound on a very overcast July morning. UP auctioned off a few cab rides on UP 4014 for this trip...to the tune of $25,000 per ticket!

UP is deadheading passenger equipment from Council Bluffs, IA west. The train has a power car and eleven passenger cars. It is currently stopped in the siding at Brighton, waiting for maintenance to clear up at Sand Creek. Despite being a deadhead move, a pair of pristine SD70Ms lead the way.

At the Vestas plant in Brighton, a trainload of hubs (to which the blades attach) and nacelles (which generate the electricity) are ready to be picked up by Union Pacific. However, that will not be happening on this particular day.

UP's MNYGR, manifest from North Yard, CO to Green River, WY is hustling along at track speed as it approaches an intermediate in advance of Brighton, where it will take the siding to meet a southbound. If you look in the distance on the left side of the shot, you can just see the Denver skyline!

On a beautiful Sunday morning, a trio of GEs leads UP's MNYGR north on the Greeley Sub. The train is crossing over Sand Creek while approach the diamond with BNSF's Brush Sub at a control point that, appropriately, is also named Sand Creek.

After meeting a very short southbound, UP's MNYGR is throttling up and headed for the single track main of the Greeley Sub. The train is passing by the Suncor oil refinery in Commerce City.

I have wanted to try to get a shot at this location for quite a long time, and was finally able to make it happen. UP 9795 and train are coming off the Greeley Sub, wrapping around the north leg of a wye that leads to the Belt Industrial Lead. You can see the inbound main for the 36th Street Yard in the distance.

After getting stuck north of Hazeltine for a short time to allow a power move onto a train on the siding at Hazeltine, UP 9795 gets to continue south toward North Yard. A few years ago, UP extended the track from the siding at Hazeltine south to the auto facility at Rolla, effectively creating a long switching lead for Rolla. Previously, the Rolla job would often have to use the main.

The siding of Hazeltine is often plugged with autoracks that have been switched at Rolla, UP's auto facility just south of Hazeltine. 112th Avenue crosses the siding near the north end, which means that autoracks tied down frequently need to be broken up across 112th to allow traffic to cross. You can see that situation here. UP 8139 will soon put this train together so it can depart south.

UP 8139 is headed south alongside the string of autoracks that are tied down in the siding at Hazeltine that the single unit is about to pick up and depart south with.

A single ES44AC is getting ready to pick up a string of empty autoracks that are currently tied down in the siding at Hazeltine. The conductor just attached an EOT device to the end of the string, and the unit is about to head to the east end.
