Roughly 110 miles south of Denver, three DPUs bring up the tail end of a southbound loaded grain train. BNSF 5213 is sporting some pretty serious radiator burn, with the paint largely gone on the long hood. The train is headed for Barstow, CA and, once upon a time, probably would have run over Raton Pass. However, no traffic...other than Amtrak's Southwest Chief...has run over Raton Pass in years.
