A detailed shot of the conductors side of the cab on UP 1988. The "M-K-T" logo shows on the side of the nose. I like the red and maroon stripes, representing the last green and yellow scheme from the 1980's.

Earlier in the day, UP 3985 (4-6-6-4 steam engine) broke down in Ft Lupton, CO. In La Salle, three SD40-2s were added to the train for the trip to Cheyenne. Once in Cheyenne, Union Pacific added UP 6936, the only remaining active DDA40X, as the diesel help.

Front Range (BNSF) BNSF
At the end of November in 2004, UP opened up the Belt Line Bypass. Two new tracks run from C&S Junction to Broadway north of North Yard. To avoid a diamon at grade level with the BNSF Front Range Sub, the Front Range Sub was lowered and the new flyover runs over the BNSF main. Here, a unit sulfur train heading into town, passing under an empty UP coal train sitting on main 1 on the bypass.

Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF
On the night of September 6, two tank cars on the BNSF Golden Spur ran away east through Arvada. At C&S Junction, the place where the Golden Spur ends and joins with the Moffat Road, the tank cars derailed and flew down an embankment. In the process, they took out a switch and two block signals (as well as a Chevy S-10 in a parking lot on the ground!). Fortunately, nobody was hurt. The next day, one of the two tank cars lay less than 200 feet from Federal Blvd, trucks missing from the bottom! With the mainline reopened, a BNSF manifest creeps by in the background.
