Hello folks! Due to work, for the first time in 6 years, NVRRP was not able to chase the annual Denver Post Cheyenne Frontier Days Train. After some detailed planning, we decided to chase the deadhead move to Denver instead! In this video, we kick off the activities, where we find the UP Steam crew putting their glamorous E-9 diesels onto the train in front of DDA40X #6936, which was added to the consist the day before. (We suspect for handbrake and electric power reasons). Shortly after, the train is brought forward to load a special group of passengers that the UP allowed aboard for a private trip. The train leaves town under the windy morning skies, and starts toward Colorado. Let the chase begin! Rate. Comment. Subscribe. ENJOY!!! Copyright Nick Valdez Railroad Photography 2015.
