UP's MNYPU manifest crosses over the classic Santa Fe bridge. The bridge takes the tracks over West Fox Farm Road, East Plum Creek, and Spruce Mountain Road. When Rio Grande and Santa Fe were competing to build lines between Denver and Pueblo, Rio Grande started first and, as a result, got the "more friendly" alignment. Here, Main 1 (the modern southbound main) was the original Santa Fe grade.
