A pair of UP SD70Ms are pulling four electric units that will be used on commuter rail. The units were built by Siemens and are headed for Pennsylvania. RTD's "A Line", which runs from Union Station to Denver International Airport, follows UP's Limon Sub for much of the run. Here, just west of Airport Blvd, the A-Line ascends and crosses over the Limon Sub. If only a commuter train has passed over right at this moment!

An eastbound coal train descends the descent (for the plains) grade located at Cedar Point, about 10 miles west of Limon. This former siding has now been downgraded to a very long stub track! If you look closely, you may notice that there is no switch with the main track in the distance. The track just comes to an end. UP removed the switch a few years ago. On this beautiful afternoon, a single SD70ACe brings up the tail end of the train.
