This is an interesting angle that I hadn't shot from before. Along 69th Avenue, at the location known as "Adams Hold" (for the hold signal found on the Greeley Sub here), the northbound MNYNP-24 is rolling on a clear signal, Denver's unique "Cash Register" building clearly visible in the background.

Just north of the absolute hold signal - called Adams Hold - this southbound MNPNY-06 is "slow rolling" toward UP Junction just south of Sand Creek. The train is being led by an SD60M, two SD9043MACs and an SD60.

The QCHIDEN typically runs twice a week from Chicago to Denver, arriving in Denver in the afternoon (when all goes according to plan). Here, the train is on the approach to Sand Creek with a nice set of power on the point. An SD75I in Warbonnet on an SD70MAC in Green and Cream lead the train. The train will ultimately make its way to Rennicks where the double stacks can be unloaded.

I'm not sure which local this is, although I suspect it might be the Market Street local. The single SD40-2 was switching near Albion Street just south of I-270.

After meeting a coal empty and the HDENGAL (Denver to Galesburg, IL) manifest, it is this coal loads turn to pull out of the siding at Irondale and head into town. Once in Denver, the crew on this train will be relieved and another crew will take it south on the Joint Line.

For several weeks, this New Image SW1500 was working out of BNSF's 31st Street on various switch jobs. Looks like its time in Denver is up as the switcher was the third unit (and DIC - Dead In Consist), headed for Galesburg, IL.

BNSF's eastbound Denver to Galesburg, IL manifest knocks know an Approach (yellow) signal at the west end of Irondale. The train, led by KCS SD70ACe 4008, is hot on the tail of a coal empty.

Approaching the west switch of Irondale, KCS 4008 leads BNSF's Denver to Galesburg, IL (HDENGAL1-15A) out of town with a sizable train! KCS 4008 came off the Moffat the day before on BNSF's Stockton to Denver trackage rights train. That third unit out is actually a DIC SW1500 in BNSF's New Image paint scheme.

Along CO-2 in Commerce City (just south of 72nd Avenue), BNSF's Roggen Local switches industries at Ladora. When the local asked the dispatcher how much time they had on the main to perform their switching moves, the response was "there won't be anything but you and wind out there for several hours."

Just north of Sand Creek on BNSF's Brush Subdivision, the Roggen Local gets permission to come out on the mainline after sitting for about two hours waiting for other trains to clear.

Amtrak 5 is running about 20 minutes late as it clips along at 40 MPH on BNSF's Brush Sub just east of Denver. Even though it is only 7:35am, it is already over 70 degrees out…its going to be a warm day!
