My son and I went out train hunting this weekend and here are the U.P. results: Saturday we came upon U.P. 6016 leading an eastbound coal train: U.P. 6473 brings up the rear: Ben
Sunday we noticed a lack of traffic so we headed up valley and found U.P. doing a lot of M.O.W. work. Here are some shots from Glenwood Canyon: Ben
We traveled through Palisade, CO on the way home and came accross a crew working on the signals as this U.P. coal train passed by: Ben
Ben, How far is GWS from GJ? About 70 miles? I really enjoy the action--thanks for sharing! The early bird gets the worm, as they say.... A coal train charges thru Tunnels 6-8; First Light at the Flatirons: I've wanted this series of shots for years....
It wasn't too bad, actually. The darkness was sure eerie, and absolute. A tiny candle would look like a 4-D Maglite in that canyon in the middle of the night.
