There are only five AC4400CWs still on UP's roster that have not received a full UP repaint. UP 6236 is one such example, still in its original scarlet and gray, with yellow UP patches applied. Here, it sits in North Yard awaiting assignment after arriving on the MGJNY. The unit actually served on the Minturn Local (which hasn't gone as far as Minturn in decades) just a few days ago in the Colorado high country. This was originally SP 257.

UP 1996, one of UP’s six heritage units, sits on one of the ready tracks in North Yard on a June afternoon. It is, perhaps, somewhat ironic that exactly 14 years ago that UP 1989, the Rio Grande Heritage Unit, sat a few hundred yards from this location under a tarp, waiting to be unveiled! UP 1996 is, of course, Southern Pacific’s heritage unit.

Leaves of a tree frame this shot of an early morning eastbound coal load approaching the grade crossing at Simms Street in Arvada. This is the Valmont coal train. It is headed for the Valmont power plant in Boulder, CO. It is one of the coal trains that regularly loads at Energy Mine on the Craig Branch. If Valmont goes to all natural gas (which they are pushing for in 2017 or 2018), it'll be another coal train taken off the Moffat! Another thing that probably won't be on the Moffat in 2017 is SP 352! One of the last-remaining unpatched Espee units. Not bad, considering it has been almost 19 years since Espee ceased to exist.
