Remarks & Notes

Missouri Pacific’s far western extension to Pueblo, Colorado, completed in 1887 as a sign of its transcontinental intentions under Jay Gould, disappeared a century later, gobbled up by all-devouring Union Pacific. But on December 17, 1964, the MoP still hosted a streamliner – the Colorado Eagle – and several daily freights. Here is eastbound 74, east of Boone out on the Colorado plains behind 798, a 1948-built F7A, a B-unit and a couple geeps. UP will eventually assess the Pueblo line, which was a bit shorter than its own Kansas Pacific route to Denver, and ultimately decide in favor of the latter. Today all that remains here is weeds and sagebrush.
