Of course, both these units are now owned by CPKC, the first (and so far only) railroad to span from Canada to Mexico. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I don't see a lot of these units in Denver, and with the CPKC merger, it is only a matter of time before this paint scheme fades in to history.

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. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

You can clearly see asphalt on Canyon Pines Drive, but no houses just yet. A loaded oil train makes it was down from Tunnel 1 and around the loop at the base of Coal Creek Canyon.

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.

Photo ID: 110200 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, January 28, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Rollins to Tolland (MP 41.2 to MP 45.8) Gilpin County, CO 106 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific An eastbound oil train crosses over the dirt road that leads to the Moffat Tunnel. This road carries quite a bit of traffic year round, as a lot of folks enjoy hiking around the Moffat Tunnel in the summer, and cross country skiing around it in the winter. Most probably pay little attention to UP 7830 and CP 8941. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

CP 7020 is an SD70ACu, and in fact started life as an SD90MAC! Progress Rail rebuilt 60 of them for Canadian Pacific (and 100 for UP SD9043MACs for Norfolk Southern). The rebuilt unit was re-designated as an SD70ACu. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Actually, with the recent merger with KCS, CP is no longer a northern railroad. CPKC now covers Canada, the central United States, and Mexico!
