Remarks & Notes |
The UP had a coal branch that ran south of Grand Junction, CO, out to Hawksnet, CO. The branch was 91 miles long and was built in 1902. The DRGW/SP/UP used it as a coal branch out to a few mines like Bowie and Somerset. Trains on this line back in 2002 usually featured 2 SP 100 series units for their lack of DP software. Here an empty works east near near MP 66 enroute to Somerset to load. |
