The required repainting is not nearly as complex as it is for the P42DCs. Here, a coach car has received the new Phase 7 stripe along its side. Not drastically different from the previous scheme.

Photo ID: 113670 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 12, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS002 (North Yard) Denver, CO 69 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak There are three trains either on the move or ready to go in this shot on this Sunday morning. The California Zephyr is, of course, on the move on the Moffat mainline with AMTK 171 and AMTK 203 for power. Behind the Zephyr is UP's MNYGR, ready to depart North Yard to head to the Greeley Sub and head north to Cheyenne before headed to Green River, WY. Another train that will also head through Cheyenne on its journey is BNSF's Denver-Laurel manifest. The BNSF manifest will, of course, head north on the Front Range Sub. The train has received its track warrant and, after the Zephyr and the MNYGR depart, it will be BNSF's turn. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 113669 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 12, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS002 (North Yard) Denver, CO 70 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak The westbound Zephyr got trapped in Union Station this morning by BNSF's Denver-Laurel manifest. The manifest was working on pulling out of the yard, but the air test and DPU linking took longer than expected, and the Buck Lead was blocked by the manifest. Once the manifest cleared, the Zephyr could depart. In this shot, the BNSF Denver-Laurel is to the left of the Zephyr. The Zephyr is now on the Moffat main, the only track under CTC jurisdiction in this shot, as it passes by CP DS002. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

However, UP's DS-378 is waiting for the Zephyr to come through first to ensure Amtrak is not held up. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

With the merger of Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern, the new railroad, CPKC, is starting to repaint its motive power. It will certainly take years, but eventually, this Canadian Pacific paint scheme will fade into the history books. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The string of four units close to the camera is the power for the Beer Run that will head out to Golden later in the day. The GP40-2 and SD40-2 will serve as the power on the Golden Switch this week. That is the local that runs east out of Golden to switch industries along the line. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 113664 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 12, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Denargo Wye Denver, CO 66 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots DOTX Was a bit surprised to find this FRA "Office of Safety" inspection car sitting on the old Denargo wye near BNSF's 31st Street Yard this morning. The power, a UP unit, was uncoupled and parked a few hundred feet away. I am guessing that the inspection train will depart Monday morning. The Denargo wye connects BNSF's 31st Street Yard and UP's 36th Street Yard. About 15 years ago, it was upgraded to welded rail and the one grade crossing on the line was upgraded. Ironically, with UP now using 36th Street only for local preparation and storage, and not for classification, the wye is never used. This is probably the first piece of equipment that has been on the wye in months, if not year. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train is quite long today, coming in at over 8,000 feet in the length. While the head end is over here at Fox, the tail is still in the yard over at 31st Street. The train is starting to pull up toward Utah Jct to clear up for the Zephyr, which is ready to head west (but currently blocked).

Photo ID: 113662 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, April 7, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Palmer Lake Palmer Lake, CO 82 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Colorado Springs (UP)/Pikes Peak (BNSF) Union Pacific Close to five hours after departing Fraser, CO, this Union Pacific passenger special has made it to Palmer Lake. A distance of about roughly 115 miles. Just to change things up a bit, I decided to get an elevated shot here, including the entire lake that shares a name with the town. The train has another 20-ish miles to go before arriving at Colorado Springs, where its VIP passengers (including UP CEO Jim Vena) will get off the train. The train would then continue to Pueblo to turn around and then return north, deadheading back to Council Bluffs, IA (home base for UP's passenger equipment).

A southbound UP passenger special on Main 1 is just south of "The Sag" and is approaching an area of shade along Spruce Mountain Road. Main 2 is visible in the distance to the top-right of the shot.

Photo ID: 113660 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, April 7, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Larkspur Larkspur, CO 100 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Colorado Springs (UP)/Pikes Peak (BNSF) Union Pacific This shot of this UP passenger special crossing over the classic Santa Fe bridge on the south side of Larkspur might have turned out to be my favorite shot of the day. Alas, the low light resulted in the focus slipping briefly. Consequently, the shot came out slightly blurry. Not horrible, but still, not quite the shot I was hoping for.

A 12-car Union Pacific passenger special is headed south to Colorado Springs, where its passengers will detrain and (according to rumors) head to the world-famous Broadmoor hotel.

With afternoon traffic in Denver, it was not possible to get far enough ahead of the train to get a shot until here in Sedalia. This Union Pacific passenger special is coming around the bend at the north end of Sedalia under some interesting skies. Skies started overcast this morning, then cleared up for several hours. This afternoon, clouds are starting to build up again. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
