UP 900082, a rotary plow based out of Cheyenne, makes it way east out of the yard limits of 36th street on the Limon Subdivision. The blade on the plow were slowly turning to avoid freezing up on the journey east.

Limon (UP) KYLE
I don't typically post photos of rail cars, but I thought this car was a reasonable exception! Built over thirty years ago, this former Rock Island boxcar clearly shows its heritage beneath its rusty exterior! The boxcar is now owned by the shortline Kyle Railroad in eastern Colorado / western Kansas. Its original Rock Island number was 300778.

Two units lead the eastbound MDVSI-26 on the Limon Subdivision. The train is moving at restricted speed as its track warrant is joint with another train. The Roydale Local (LDJ03) is working further east near Havana street and it too is occupying the main track. UP 3932 and crew must be prepared to stop in one-half the distance of vision of the track ahead.

UP 3932 east leads the MDVSI-26 east out of 36th street toward the KP. The train is passing over a BNSF track that is now abandoned (at least, this far to the south). There is actually still railhead buried underneath all that dirt!

One of the Roydale Locals (the LDJ03) had a huge train that it was working on switching near Havana Street on the Limon Sub. Half the local (probably 40 cars) were sitting on the main track blocking through traffic while another 30 or so cars were being switched in industries. The lead unit, UP 1526, was SSW 7291 until August 5, 2005. I found that I actually have a shot of SSW 7291 taken on August 1, 2003 in Delta, CO on the Montrose Local!!

I stumbled across this MoPac bay window caboose sitting near the end of a stub track. Appeared to be in descent condition, all things considered. Couldn't really tell how recently it was last used. There was also no indicating if UP owned it or if is was privately owned.

Heavy rains in the Denver area in the last two days have resulted in quite a few pools of water forming, particularly around the tracks. Here, the MLMDVX (Limon to Denver extra) has just passed Quebec street on the Limon Sub heading west toward Denver. 36th street would have the train hold at Steele Street until a place could be cleared for the train.

I love what a polarizer can do for a picture! With the behind the camera, the blue in the sky is very vibrant! Note that this coal empty has second generation power (CEFX 2802, a former UP SD40-2 and HLCX 5969, a former UP/CNW SD60)…and that's it!

CSX 50 is stopped at Ulster street, waiting for 36th street to grant permission for this coal empty to pass through the yard. It was quite a treat to find a train with pure CSX power, even if it was only two units!

Sitting tied down just outside 36th street yard on the Greeley Sub, I found this former Espee snoot nose tunnel motor. It is now a leaser unit with the reporting marks GECX 8359.

A derailment on the triple track main in Nebraska resulted in several trains being rerouted through Colorado. One such train was this unit [empty] auto rack train. In this shot, the train is on the approach to Mesa.

A roster shot of UP 8861 (ex-SP 8269) in the siding at Sable. This unit was patched by UP almost five years prior to this picture on June 12, 2001.

Sitting tied down in the siding at Sable, UP 8861 (a patched Espee SD40T-2) leads this extra intermodal train, which has been in the siding waiting for a new crew for nearly 36 hours!

Having just received a new track warrant from MP 590 to MP 570, UP 844 and crew cross over the East Bijou Creek just west of Deer Trail.

On the approach to the small town of Byers, UP 844 crosses over West Bijou Creek. Not a bad looking tressle at all…
