Photo ID: 112211 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 13, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Hazeltine (8,232ft) Henderson, CO 61 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific The siding of Hazeltine is often plugged with autoracks that have been switched at Rolla, UP's auto facility just south of Hazeltine. 112th Avenue crosses the siding near the north end, which means that autoracks tied down frequently need to be broken up across 112th to allow traffic to cross. You can see that situation here. UP 8139 will soon put this train together so it can depart south. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

UP has a daily train that runs west from Denver to Green River, WY (the train on the left), and a counterpart that comes to Denver from Green River, WY (the train on the right). Since UP stopped running general manifest trains west of Grand Junction, CO, cars running between Denver and Salt Lake City are also on these trains.
