Description: |
In 2004, the UP began upgrading the Ft. Collins branch to allow 6 axle power to be used. Traffic was increasing on the Great Western and the UP would be handling larger, more frequent trains. Part of this upgrade included building a siding along the UP track eliminating the need to use BNSFs North Yard. In this photo, 5 UP motors are in North Yard to interchange with the BNSF and GWR. |

Description: |
This was the last train I shot on the Fort Collins branch before moving to Alabama. The Great Western delivered this blade train to the UP at Milliken with one BNSF unit! Here it is rounding the curve southeast of Milliken. The Dent branch left the FTC line at this location. In early 2016, the GWR rebuilt the Windsor-Greeley segment of the ex Colorado & Southern line and now most interchange with the UP is handled in a new yard west of Greeley. |
