Without any context (or without reading this caption), this photo looks a bit odd. It appears that there are five UP units leading a westbound coal load in the siding at Granby. However, four of the five units are actually power from the North Yard to Grand Junction manifest to the left. The crew is cutting off the fourth unit from their train, adding it as the rear DPU for the coal train.
