I'd hazard a guess it was coming to or from Pueblo.

Funny you should say that because we actually had to go a bit more south than we usually do to get this because of how late in the day it was. Pueblo is a bit east of Springs and the sun is basically due west at 4:30 so you have to find a place where the tracks turn southwest if even just a little bit.

Looks like I need to pay more attention cropping my photos on my iPhone. :facepalm:

Had lunch with my parents at the Deer Park Tavern in Newark DE today (to hand off some parts for a really cool TTRAK project).

Check out this track side view.

And just as we are leaving, CSX finally showed up. It's good it didn't happen earlier though, cause this train was hauling some NY/NJ STANK.

Caught me a big fish today.

Just a dusting of sunset.  5 minutes earlier and the light would have been better.

So I consoled myself with this 70mph grab out the car window.
