Great catch 👍🏻

[@atjoe1972]

Thank you so much, a fun catch out on the highway 🚂

What a marvelous and heavy weight train, w/such a great variety within it. Did I see a caboose car, like half way through? Also, what an array of art work, graffiti, on some of the cars...🧐...🚂🚂🚂🟦🟩🟧🟥🟨🌠 And so very close up too. Love this video!

[@atjoe1972]

Thank you Christina for the kind comments! 😊 I really enjoy the mixed freights for their variety as well. I don’t recall seeing a caboose in the mix, you can still see them on the locals from time to time. The train did have a lot of interesting graphics and graffiti on it. I really appreciate you checking out the video 👍😊🚂

Great sharing. Great catch.. big and very long train❤

[@atjoe1972]

Thank you very much 👍😎 It was a very long train to film 🚂

[@mysticrailroad]

sweet catch Joe! Love those empty center beams :)

[@atjoe1972]

Thank you John 👍😎 I agree, those center beams make for an interesting visual effect 😵‍💫 Thanks for checking out the video 🚂

[@jacobpoohsmother]

Really great video @atjoe1972🚂🚂. Love seeing Uncle Pete. Nice spot too!!!

[@atjoe1972]

I was driving on US 85 to a hospital call and caught the tail of this train. It took me quite a while to overtake it. I found a rural crossing and caught it in the nick of time. I knew how much of a fan of Uncle Pete you are, I wanted to get a video of UP in his backyard. Thanks for checking out the video and I’m really glad you enjoyed it. 👍😎🚂

[@jacobpoohsmother]

@@atjoe1972 Wow…so very nice of you to do that for Me!!! I really enjoyed watching it. Thanks so much🚂🚂🚂

[@atjoe1972]

You’re most welcome 😊 Since your a big fan of Uncle Pete, it was only natural to give you a shoutout. Ed Dickens likes to take the Big Boy out on this line to exercise it. It’s not as busy as Overland Route. I’ve caught the #3985 and #8444 along here. I’m hoping to catch the #4014 someday 😎🚂@@jacobpoohsmother

[@jacobpoohsmother]

@@atjoe1972 pretty awesome to catch those two and my dream is to see 4014 in action.

[@atjoe1972]

I’ve seen it twice since they restored it. They were going to take it somewhere South this year. I haven’t seen or heard anymore about that happening 🤔🚂@@jacobpoohsmother

[@SarahsAtticOfTreasures]

What a great catch, Joe. Thank you for sharing.

[@atjoe1972]

Thank you so much Sarah 👍🤗😎🚂 I really wish you and Danny could come out and visit Colorado. We could spend all day chasing Uncle Pete in his backyard 👍😎🚂

[@SarahsAtticOfTreasures]

@@atjoe1972 I would have been there long ago. We would love it.

[@atjoe1972]

One of these days we are bound to have a railfan adventure together. Either in Florida or here in Colorado. Or who knows maybe Cornelia 😉🚂@@SarahsAtticOfTreasures

[@SarahsAtticOfTreasures]

@@atjoe1972 Anywhere. I can't stand not doing anything.
