Photo ID: 103846 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, August 20, 2011 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 48 Evans, CO 2236 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific There's no point in denying it...I'm an EMD brat. Always have been, likely always will be. This, I'm sure, is because I was raised on Rio Grande, which never owned a non-EMD unit in my lifetime. So, seeing a quartet of EMDs leading a southbound just south of Greeley (with two SD40-2s to boot), made me a very happy camper.

Therefore, it is somewhat unusual to find a solid set of EMDs on a train these days. That made this train particularly cool with it's quartet of EMD power.

The first half the train is auto racks and the second half is good old fashion manifest. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This is an interesting control point in that it is actually a crossover. The siding continues south on the east side of the main to service some industries. Not a bad looking signal bridge.

UP 1989 leads a train south toward the siding at Brighton where it will meet a northbound before continuing in to North Yard in Denver.

If so, then check out the stark contrast between the amber waves of grain and the storm-ridden skies to the east in this shot of the MNPNY being led by UP 1989 just north of Fort Lupton.

Perhaps, in an alternate universe, there are hundreds of units painted like this running around on the rails... Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 103782 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, July 19, 2011 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Fort Lupton (MP 25.8) Fort Lupton, CO 2151 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific UP's ZLADV heads down the Greeley Sub through Fort Lupton. A very interesting mix of power on the train. A Phase 2 SD70M leads up the train followed by an SD70ACe, and ES44DC and an AC4400CW. The AC4400CW was so dirty that, from a distance, I have to admit I thought it was an Espee unit at first! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Even though I'm not too crazy about the aesthetics of the SD70ACe, I am and always been an EMD guy at heart, so I'm thrilled to see if leading!

Save for the fact that the GE's are way too new, this shot harkens back to the 1960's and 1970's when you could find all kinds of crazy mixed power on UP, including DDA40X's and DD35's.

I try not to beat roster shots to death, but with the longest diesel unit ever built, it's kinda hard not to get a lot of shots! Who knows when next the unit will run wild on the rails.

The train was originally going to wait for a southbound, but said southbound had brake issues and the dispatcher ended up sending the MNYNP north without meeting anything.

The train is fairly unremarkable on this day with a string of covered hoppers. Granted, the statement "fairly unremarkable" does not take into consideration the DDA40X in the consist.

Granted, in this instance, it is DIC (Dead In Consist) for the trip to Cheyenne due to some mechanical issues that need to be worked out.
