Photo ID: 103505 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, June 17, 2010 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Carr (7,716ft) Carr, CO 2053 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific The crew on this coal load is throttling up, ready to leave the siding of Carr north on a clear signal. The train will have to go as quick as it can up to Speer as the ZLADV will be there before long, ready to head south to Denver. The flat car sitting on the house track to the right has been there for over six months. The car literally broke in two on a work train. It was welded back together (as a temporary fix) and was setup here. UP hasn't gotten around to dealing with it yet. More than likely, the car will be cut up and scrapped right here, on the spot.

Photo ID: 103501 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, June 17, 2010 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP W086 (North Carr) Carr, CO 1928 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Amtrak, Union Pacific A problem with a bridge in between Provo and Salt Lake City, UT has resulted in Amtrak being rerouted through Wyoming for a few days. Here, the Zephyr is headed south on UP's Greeley Sub at Carr. The lead P42DC does not have cab signals, so UP 4473 was added as a pilot for the trip from Salt Lake to Denver.
