A former Western Pacific GP40-2 (now a GP40N) is assigned the duty of Colorado Springs switcher right now. While BNSF runs the vast majority of trains on the Joint Line, Union Pacific is still responsible for switching cars in the yard and delivering and picking up cars to/from customers in the Colorado Springs area. Former Rio Grande caboose #01513, now referred to as a "shoving platform", sits with the GP40N, waiting for an assignment that would come tomorrow (Monday).
