Remarks & Notes 
Mop meets Rock. On July 3, 1965, two weeks after massive floods shut down almost all rail service into Denver the situation along Colorado’s Joint Line is still far from normal. Missouri Pacific’s Train 11, the Colorado Eagle, has come up from Pueblo behind E8A 38 and is creeping along at Palmer Lake, waiting for several trains being fleeted southward on what is now single track railroad. In the background, Rock Island U25B 210 awaits its turn with a Denver freight detoured from Limon via Colorado Springs.
