What should have been a shot of 2 CP units on a grain train (including 1 heritage), turned in to this shot (and a 2nd train) of BNSF DPUs.

The CP units on a grain train coming into Denver, CO, was widely known amoung railfans on Jan 5.  The train arrived in Denver around 9am, with a midday departure expected.  The midday departure turned into a late afternoon departure, then an evening departure.  Figuring it would leave early evening, I headed to Greenalnd to set up lights for a broadside of the head end.  This first train showed up around 737pm, with a second train (and the one we thought would be CP), around 925pm.  After the 2nd train, and no sign of any movement out of Denver of a thrid train, packed up and went home.  

Note: Had it been the CP, I would have changed the angle of the shot to show the train approaching.

6 Flash were used to light the scene.

Wonderful results on your Greenland, CO, night outing 5 January 2021.  Bummer the train with Canadian Pacific units didn't cooperate.

Neat shot!
