UP4014 is wrapping up its very short summer excursion right now.  It was originally scheduled to make a mid-July West Coast trip from Cheyenne to Roseville, CA, Portland, OR, and back to Cheyenne via Boise.  The trip was announced in April and postponed indefinitely a week later due to logistical and supply chain congestion concerns.  It instead did a short trip to Denver for a one-day display with a passenger excursion today for the trip back home.  That part of Colorado made for some great pics and video with lots of open flat space along the tracks.

Thanks for the update, JBB.  Have you been tracking it online or did you go and see it?

 

Not too far east of that route from Portland is the Lake Britton Bridge that was used in the 1986 movie "Stand By Me."  The bridge has no been decommissioned for use but I believe the structure is still standing.

I just followed along online.  I have a friend that was in Colorado last week and mentioned plans to see it in Denver, but he's been pretty quiet on social media.
