The Pikes Peak Local breezes northbound bound for Big Lift with a lone covered hopper. It's always nice to catch an SD40-2 on the Joint Line, even with a giant faded red patch on the long hood!
Rolling off the assembly line together and now plying the rails along the Joint Line, sequential sister GEVOs lead loaded coal south through the S-curves in Monument.
Looking far different than the typical BNSF and UP widecabs that frequent the Joint Line, the head-end power of Loram's RG301 pulls to a stop just north of the siding switch at Monument.
