After meeting a train and then having a train (the Zephyr) overtake it, UP 1996 is throttling up and pushing on the tail end of the MNYRO-29 (Manifest, North Yard, CO to Roper, UT). It was really nice seeing the Espee Heritage Unit while it was here in Colorado. In all likelihood, it will be assigned to a train that will not bring it back to Colorado once it reaches Salt Lake City.
