Denver, Colorado - a photo on Flickriver

Denver, Colorado

            While going through some old pictures last night, I came across this shot from a few years ago when what was originally billed to be a sightseeing trip, turned into a day of railfanning. Here, the Denver skyline and Rocky Mountains loom in the background as the final passengers board the Cheyenne Frontier Days Train, headed up by Union Pacific's sharp looking set of E9's. This train is an annual event sponsored by the Denver Post and operated by Union Pacific between Denver, Colorado and Cheyenne, Wyoming, where passengers are able to attend the Cheyenne Frontier Days festival. Tickets are in such high demand that a lottery style sale is held every year for those interested in riding. I believe this was the final year (at least for now) that the E9's were used on this train, as UP 844 is now once again operational and able to lead the train.
