With the warm, pastel colors of sunset settling in over Denver, three new Union Pacific EMD SD70ACe-T4s lead MNYRO out of Leyden, Colorado, at 8:10 p.m. on June 14, 2017. The three T4s—Nos. 3027, 3019, 3014—along with a rear DPU (the trailing GE ES44AC and two SD70ACes are dead-in-consist) power the westbound train up the 2-percent grade and it was amazing how quiet they were.
