On June 14, 2009, afternoon storms dump rain in the mountains to the east as a westbound Union Pacific Operation Lifesaver special led by AC4400CW No. 7250 heads west out of Rogers Mesa, Colorado. On the east end of the four-car passenger train is Rio Grande heritage SD70ACe No. 1989 and UP E9B No. 963B used as lead locomotives on eastbound trips up the branch.
For the train and storm chaser. Trains with thunderstorms, dark clouds, rain, lightning, hurricanes - tropical storms, funnel clouds, storm light, rainbows, and snow storms.
