Double whammy |
| Description: |
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. |

Rail train on the former Kansas Pacific |
| Description: |
This rail train was parked at Weskan KS on the UPs Kansas Pacific line. The power, despite looking out of place on the high plains, was no stranger to the flatlands, as it routinely ran to KC over the Mopac from Pueblo til that line was discontinued |
