Western Railroad Discussion > Coal empty on the N. Fork Branch

Went out scoping around for a new location between the sidings of Bridgeport and Roubideau on Union Pacific's North Fork Branch that runs South out of Grand Jct. CO this past Sunday (11/17)
Caught a Long Beach, CA to W. Elk Mine empty coal train heading Eastbound down the branch around Milepost 35. It had 90 cars, a train with 105 would work a little better to view the rear DP's in the background.
As the train headed around the curve following alongside the Gunnison River,  the Sun angle wasn't the best.

Oh Wow! Those are awesome. I’d say you definitely found the angle you were looking for and also got a good workout in the process!!

I can't seem to read the unit numbers.

Nice pair of photos!  And without a drone even.  I could never do that shot as my fear of heights is too great.

That is some stunning work right there.What a location.

Same here.  Even at this time of year, it's very scenic.  Scenes like this are why I want to model the Grand Junction area of the D&RGW.

Great shots!

Yeah baby...GREAT shots!

Really nice pair; congrats on IOTD!
