An eastbound UP manifest, which includes an SD70M in the consist, creeps along at the base of Coal Creek Canyon, crossing CO-72.

Thanks John. That is what happens when you mindlessly copy and paste! I fixed the city for the photo.

Nice shot but it looks a lot closer to Blue Mtn and Plainview then Pinecliffe to me. Still a good pic.
