The signal at south Platteville has yet to be replaced. While the signal hasn't been replaced, the codeline has. Not the ATCS radio tower seemingly coming up out of the middle of the lead unit.

Here, cars heading north on the highway are likely indifferent to the MNPNY-20, which is approaching the south switch of Platteville.

Photo ID: 103015 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, July 18, 2009 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 25 Ft Lupton, CO 2746 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific I haven't done a whole lot with Frontier Days the last couple of years. And I was reminded of exactly why this year. Traveling on US-85 can be extremely aggravating at times. Some people will pace UP 844 and block traffic behind them. On this evening, I was one of the those being blocked. This pacing shot (which is by no means one of my best) was the closest to the head end of the train I could get from La Salle all the way down to Brighton!

Would have been really cool to see these in mainline freight service! I actually really think the corn fields in the background add something to the shot, don't you!?

The lighting was really good and UP 844 is putting off enough smoke to make it look nice and classy! The train is just south of downtown La Salle.

UP 6936 is a DDA40X built in January 1971 and is just shy of 100ft in length. The unit was used as a backup (and for dynamic braking) on the Cheyenne Frontier Days train.
