I love catching as many Retro Belles as possible now that the merger between Kansas City Southern and Canadian Pacific is complete.

Photo ID: 109534 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, October 1, 2023 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Eaton (MP 58.8) Eaton, CO 142 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Kansas City Southern This is a paint scheme that I am definitely going to miss! Granted, Kansas City Southern units don't make it to Colorado particularly often, but when they do, they are great to see. With the merger of CP and KCS, creating CPKC, both the Canadian Pacific and KCS paint schemes will be replaced by a new scheme.

Photo ID: 109528 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, October 1, 2023 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North of Brighton Weld County, CO 152 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Kansas City Southern A pair of CPKC units (one CP, one KCS) are quite a ways from home as they lead a coal empty north on the Greeley Sub. The train is slowing for the grade crossing at MP 29.99 (County Road 22). A previous train reported that the main lights and gates were working, but the lights on one of the gates were broken off and hanging down. Consequently, an "XH" order was placed on the crossing. This requires all trains to slow to ensure no cars are going through the crossing when they shouldn't. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 109526 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, October 1, 2023 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Brighton (8,203ft) Brighton, CO 149 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Kansas City Southern, Union Pacific This coal empty was holding south of the siding of Brighton so as not to block grade crossing through town. When the southbound it was meeting showed up, the train pulled in to the siding. However, nobody informed the crew that the southbound is a local that is blocking the north end of the siding, preventing the coal empty from leaving! So the crossing in Brighton wound up blocked for over 30 minutes anyway. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
