Work to drop I-70 in to a trench is about 50% complete. Cars now in the trench are likely oblivious to the largest steam engine in US history above them!

For 50 years, I-70 has crossed through the east part of Denver on a bridge known as the "elevated deck". With that bridge aging, it was apparent it would need to be replaced. The Colorado Department of Transportation instead decided to drop I-70 in to a trench and knock down the elevated deck. A small piece of the elevated deck that hasn't been torn down is still visit to the right of the Purina factory. Meanwhile, UP 4014 stops across I-70 on new tracks and a new bridge at the north end of 36th Street Yard, waiting to back in.

Not only does the spartan cab of the Tunnel Motor look fantastic, but see the Rio Grande fly letters to the right on a steam tender and to the left on GP30 DRGW 3011 is just great!

The unit has been sitting on the east side of the roadhouse for most of that time. However, just this summer, it was moved to a new location. Rumor has it that restoration of the unit might be starting soon! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Behind the unit, we find only a handful of units around the fueling and sanding racks. The yard itself looks to be a bit on the empty side.

A very large tent with chairs was set up, offering some shade. Employees are welcome to come over and check out the unit when they have a break or at the start or end of their shift.

Behind UP's shield and wings is an orange and yellow heart, with the pink and green bands wrapping around the base from the sides of the nose. Overall, a pretty creative design to be sure! The unit is on display here for UP employees in Denver, not too far from the fuel and sand racks. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
