Just north of Brighton, UP 8357 leads the MNYNP-07 north on the Greeley Sub. I like the elephant-style EMD power on the point, an SD70ACe and two SD9043MACs.

A roster shot of UP 2001 on the point of the IOADVX-04. I think that this was a very inspired paint scheme. I love the snow flakes all over the unit!

UP 2001 is speeding south (going roughly 50 MPH) along US-85 in the heartland of the US! (Note the farm land in the background).

About a half hour after sunset, there was just enough light left to capture this northbound manifest highballing the center crossover at Greeley.

The MNPDV is kicking up a lot of snow as it moves quickly south on the Greeley Sub. The train will go into the hole at Ault to wait for a northbound currently switching at La Salle.

It is getting late in the afternoon as the MNPDV moves along at track speed just north of Nunn, CO on the Greeley Sub. The train is about to pass under CO-85.

A derailment in Tunnel 10 on the Moffat Tunnel Sub caused Amtrak 5 to be re-routed through Wyoming on a very cold Saturday morning. Here, Amtrak 5 is on rails seldom seen by Amtrak since the end of the San Francisco Zephyr, approaching Speer Junction (about to pass under Terry Ranch Road), just a few miles in Wyoming north of Colorado.

After losing UP 3985 (due to bearing problems), three SD40-2s were added to the Cheyenne Frontier Days train in La Salle, CO to assist the 844 with the climb up Speer Hill. The train is preparing to pass under US-85 just north of Nunn.

After having bearing problems at Ft Lupton, UP 3985 was cut out of the consist. Here, UP 844 leads the Cheyenne Frontier Days train. In La Salle, UP SD40-2s will be added to assist with the climb up to Speer, WY.

For the 2005 Cheyenne Frontier Days, the amazing guys in the UP Steam Program got UP 844 (4-8-4) and UP 3985 (4-6-6-4) ready to head the northbound passenger special from Denver to Cheyenne. Here, the train is moving fast just south of Hazeltine, CO.

Just north of Brighton, this coal empty is passing through the fruited plains of eastern Colorado. Upon reaching North Yard, six units will be added to the point of this coal empty and it will run west to a mine on the North Fork branch near Grand Junction, CO.

Rio Grande GP40-2 #3109 sits in its original paint with an as-delivered light package (with the exception of the ditch lights of course).

While chasing a southbound coal empty, I happened to notice two Grande GP40-2's sitting side by side in the yard in La Salle! Notice that the 3109 still has a complete light package.
