The two DPUs on the tail end of this westbound manifest are emerging from Tunnel 1. The first, of course, being a visitor from the north. At this point, however, Canadian Pacific no longer exists. The merger with Kansas City Southern has been official for a little over a year, and the new railroad is now CPKC. A handful of units have been repainted in the new scheme, though I have yet to see one in person.

On the main at Cliff, the tracks cross over South Boulder Creek. UP 7830 and CP 8941 are on the main, leading an eastbound oil train across said bridge. The train is a unit oil train, although you cannot see any tank cars in this shot. The only car visible is a covered hopper, which serves as a buffer car, to protect the power from the oil they are carrying.

CP 7020, one of five military tribute units on CP's roster, happened to lead a California-bound grain train through Denver. The train is tied down here on the siding in "Hogan's Alley", awaiting for a recrew. The grain train originated in Sweetwater, MT and is destined for Modesto, CA.
