Photo ID: 104449 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, September 22, 2013 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Fort Lupton (MP 25.8) Fort Lupton, CO 2156 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) BNSF, CSX BNSF trains running from Denver to northern Colorado are not unusual. BNSF trains doing this on UP's Greeley Sub are unusual! Due to the closure of the Front Range Sub after flooding a week earlier, the Galveston, TX to Bonneville, WY (G-BNVGAT4-19A) "stinky slinky" molten sulfur train still needs to run. So, a BNSF road pilot (familiar with the Greeley Sub) got on board with a BNSF crew and took this train north. In Cheyenne, the train will use the transfer track to move back to BNSF property and continue to Bonneville. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

BNSF's "stinky slinky" (molten sulfur train), which typically runs on the Front Range Sub, is detouring over UP's Greeley Sub. The Front Range Sub is still out of service after severe flood damage a week earlier. In the distance, UP's switches auto racks at the Rolla auto facility.

November of 2006 was the last time I saw UP 2002 when it led a manifest down the Greeley Sub. It's been over six years since I saw sister unit, UP 2001.

Several years ago, the FRA decided to mandate that all engines have either a yellow frame stripe or a white frame stripe. Personally, I wish UP 2002 had kept its white frame stripe.

For now, the ZLADV passes by a still-mostly brown field with UP 2002 second up in the consist. The Z-Train had eight auto racks up front, but the rest of the train was trailers and containers.

While it unfortunately was not leading, UP 2002, wearing special paint for the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake, looked great in the setting sun.
