Yard power |
| Description: |
Denver & Rio Grande Western was known for its tunnel motors and other big SDs, as well as an interesting fleet of 4 axle EMD's, which at that time included GP 30's. They also had some switchers. One is seen here from the Amtrak Desert Wind. Note the hi rail front end loader to the right of the SW. |

Not UP, not yet anyway |

SP still was a going operation in 1984, and there was no hint that they would eventually be swallowed by the UP. The stillborn merger attempt with Santa Fe was still ahead at this stage. Funny how things turn out. |

Southern Pacific GE |
| Description: |
SP was not known for having a lot of GEs, though in the late 70s and 80s they acquired quite a few after having run mostly EMDs. This one is a run of the mill B23-7, but look at the cars around it-JM Huber carbon black cars, and a Yreka Western box. |

Rawlins rambler |

The UP-MP merger was two years prior, so this is now a UP unit. Seeing off line power all over UP was never a big deal, though, since they ran through with just about everyone. This is a coal service SD40, 6000 series, with dynamics, coupled to a very dirty C30-7, seen from the Cal Zephyr. |

Heres a westbound train passing Paola en route to home rails at Pueblo. |

This shows two UP predecessors in one, although the line was already UP by then. This is a Rio Grande trackage rights train approaching Wagstaff Kansas on the ex Mopac line to Colorado, which DRGW used to access connections at KC as part of the conditions of the UP-MP-WP merger. The scene is one that epitomizes prairie railroading-long view, long train, long line of code line poles into the distance. |

High priority |
| Description: |
MKT was trying to make a dent in the KC-Texas intermodal market using short, fast trains. This was their daily effort, which I caught as a grab shot along US 169. He was moving pretty fast, judging by the blur on the first unit. The leader is one of the ex Kennecott Copper GP 39's. |

C&EI action |
| Description: |
A southbound train rolls through Salem Ill on the ex C&EI behind a mix of MP power, including one each general service(no dynamics) and coal service SD40-2. Note the "eagle" herald on the two lead units. It was still common to find full paint MP units at this time. |

Double surprise |
| Description: |
Caught this while westbound on I 40. Lead unit is an SDP45, a rare bird by then. The trailing unit was CSX 5940. If I recall, it is one of the NYSW units CSX financed for the D&H directed service. Can't get away from those things!! |
