Modern Railroad Action in Colorado

West of Carr, Colorado, where we live, is the UP's line from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Denver. Rte. 85 parallels the single track line within 50 to 100 yards all the way south past Greeley. We caught a maintenance crew dropping ballast along the line just south of Eaton, Co. The next day we caught a south bound empty coal drag in the hole at Nunn, Co. The same day of the maint train we saw a southbound Amtrak with a pair of Genesis engines, a baggage car and 7 Super-Liner cars. The BNSF train is northbound on the former Colorado and Southern Railroad in the town of Wellington. The pic should have been better but it surprised me, I had to shoot thru my dirty windshield!
