Sweet! I'm originally from Denver and grew up in the north metro area. The detail is pretty right on. I've always wanted to see this, and here it is. Fun fact, the grain elevator at the north end of the huge UP yard that dude started off in, was a favorite scene of much teenage debauchery. My buddies and I would shimmy our way under the giant garage doors and once inside it was a ten or so story climb up grain dust covered, metal cage enclosed, ladder climb to the roof. To access the roof we had to move aside a standard sized manhole cover. And naturally we tossed said cover off the roof to the railyard below and I shit you not, it broke in half upon impact. God it's nothing short of a miracle that we didn't kill ourselves or get busted. Stupidity at its finest.

I'm so glad I found your page I know there a lot of D&RGW and SP stuff on you tube, but I love the way you get right in the heart of these two Great railroads. Looking forward to seeing more Please keep it up. From what I have watch it seems you have about the same opinion of up as I do, I remember reading the articles about up taking over SP and how up said they wanted to shut down the Moffat Route because they didn't believe in Mid Train or Rear Pushers yet I see them (Unfortunately) going through here (Las Vegas) with mid train and rear pushers all the time I guess some of the SP and Rio Grande blood contaminated the up. Keep up the Great Work.

UP #Y691 has had a long and rich history. Also the GP15s have a radiator section similar to SD40T-2s and SD45T-2s which leads people to incorrectly identify these small GPs as GP15Ts and they have the funny nickname "Baby tunnel motors" XD

@Slim_SlidАй бұрын
Not true. The SD70M's with the flared radiators and notched noses with flared radiators are still out there in large numbers. The older and original units are the ones finally getting scrapped and put into storage. The only older SD70M's that won't be tampered with are the 25 SD70M's currently on lease which are actually the former and first EMDX SD70M's (7000-7024) which were intially purchased by CSX until they returned all the units back to EMD. The C44-9W's were in storage for several years but have been steadily returning as C44ACM rebuilds. Those units also will be around for awhile.

I love your videos and it was so nice to see the D&RGW Dirty Dirt Train on the branch line. I grow up in Colorado and my Dad told me story of watching D&DGW Double Heading Steam through Colorado Springs on it way to Denver so you know what I grew up on. I was ok when Rio Grand bought out SP just a little hurt when they decided to go with SP colors, but I always liked SP also. I guess the real KICK IN THE TEETH came when I heard up (yes it's in lower case because that's what I think of up) was going to buy SP and the worst of it is to see the Class lights and the Nose lights plated covered over let alone the big ugly yellow number placards on the cabs. Sorry for ranting on, but I can say one thing there will never be any thing that can every replace the pure business colors of Black and Orange of the Denver & Rio Grande Western.
