Here, UP has two main tracks that head south. One heads for the Joint Line and the other collides with BNSF tracks at Prospect Junction and lead to Union Station. I have always liked the dwarf signals found here at Fox Junction, this particular signal found on the UP Outbound Track. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I'm not sure if UP 5590 was one of the units with the spreader, or if it came through during the blizzard and collected its snowy hat along the way.

Well, aside from the obvious that is! Of course they are all geeps and they are all on the active UP roster. But can you figure out something a little less obvious that they have in common? You can post your guess by clicking here and leaving a comment. I'll post the answer in a few days if nobody gets it correct!

After making a station stop at Union Station, the train used the passenger lead and was tied down here, near the house at 38th street. The train is only two cars long, and led by a single SD40-2.

BN brought 25 GP15-1's over to the BNSF roster, although many of those have now been sold off to Locomotive Leasing Partners (LLPX). Prior to being BN, this unit was actually a Frisco GP15-1, delivered as SLSF 103 in August 1977. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

DRGW 3097 - the last Grande geep in the 30xx range - finished its Rio Grande life as the Colorado Springs switcher back in 2005.

A string of 20 units ranging from newer power to classic power sits on run-around track in North Yard. Meanwhile, a remote control operator moves a set of switchers out of the way on the lead to make room for three units from the MNPNY to pull off the train on yard track four. The managers in the yard tower were trying to figure out what to do with all the power. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The railroad was formed in 1998 after most railroads in the country were privatized. Recently, Ferromex ordered several new ES44AC's from General Electric. One such GEVO is seen here on a westbound Denver to Provo manifest. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Some units have the typical two-pane wind shield, while some have a three-pane wind shield. I personally prefer the two-pane as seen here!
