When the mainline through the Rockies is closed to train due to work windows, about the only thing you can hope to see west of Denver is the West Local (formerly the Rocky Local). The train used to run on Tuesday's and Thursday's, but thanks to the downturn in the economy, it now only regularly runs on Wednesday's (although it will run on Saturday's as an extra if business demands it). Here, the local is approaching Simms Street with two GP40-2s and nine covered hoppers from the Rocky Spur.

I guess someone re-applied the UP shield after the SP was covered up by yellow. I kind of thought the unit had character.
