The power and the glory
Title:  The power and the glory
Description:  The power, the protect engine, and the one getting the attention, the 4014, roll away, having now passed under the bridge. The chase is on for those who can get out-the road is two lane, accessing the I 70 ramp, but the congestion was pretty bad. If you werent parked near the top, you didnt have a chance at chasing the train.

Ever changing
Title:  Ever changing
Description:  One of the things I enjoy about the plains, aside from the expansive, wide open landscape, is the sky. It had rained about four hours the previous night, and that system was still moving off to the east, leaving a changing sky. It would become a feature for much of the days chase across eastern Colorado.
