Photo ID: 114367 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, September 27, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS004 (Pecos X-Over) Denver, CO 35 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific Quite a bit of action is happening here at the Pecos Crossover right now, particularly for a Sunday afternoon. UP 8134 leads a westbound coal empty onto Bypass 2. The crew on a coal load on Bypass 1 is working to put the train back together after cutting out the mid-train swing helpers. And, those exact mid-train swing helpers are on Main 3 in the distance, being taken to the engine tracks in North Yard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It likely was due for an inspection and/or needed some maintenance, which would be why it was in North Platte. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

North Yard could not receive the train when it first arrived, so it was tied down here. A new crew has just arrived to pull forward beyond Pecos Crossover, and then back the train into North Yard. Nine units were leading the train! Most of which are likely just power transfers. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It was part of a 1,000 unit order back in 2000, but the end of its life might be near. It has been in long term storage, and it is possible that it is getting ready to head to the torch.

Photo ID: 114036 Date Shot Photo By Monday, July 13, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Utah Junction Denver, CO 105 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) CSX, BNSF Like all the Class 1 Railroads (except for BNSF), CSX has several heritage units. The CSX units do not make it to Denver very often, so I was glad I had the chance to capture the P&LE (Pittsburg & Lake Erie Railroad). The P&LE was under the control of New York Central (and later Penn Central) until 1970 when Penn Central declared bankruptcy. CSX ultimately purchased the P&LE in the early 1990s, leading to the eventual creation of the 15th CSX heritage unit, painted at the Waycross shops in 2024.
