On July 19th, 2018, I went out to catch 844 leading the CFD train down towards Denver, CO. Along with the consist was UP 1943, "Honoring US Forces".
Locations in order:
0:00 CR 72, Eaton, CO
1:03 39th st, Evans, CO
2:18 136th ave. Brighton, CO
A couple days later, on July 21, 844 departed Denver en route to Cheyenne, leaving at 6.30 AM, running over the Belt Line, and eventually on the Greeley Subdivision.
Locations in order:
3:28 CR 36, Platteville, CO
4:17 Terry Ranch Rd, Cheyenne, WY
After a day of railfanning around Cheyenne, 844 left Cheyenne at 5:30 PM (Scheduled for 5 PM), and I head down to catch it on its way back south to Denver.
Locations in order:
6:30 CR 88, Pierce, CO
7:48 CR 29, Gilcrest, CO
After the chase was over, only half an hour later would a pedestrian be struck by 844 at 124th, in Henderson, CO. It was very unfortunate to see, please, be safe around railroad tracks, and when railfanning.
