Or, at a minimum, was recently repainted. The "Dark Future" on this CSX unit looks darn near pristine as the fourth unit on the BNSF Laurel, MT to Denver, CO manifest.

The South Platte River does run through Denver. However, as you can see in this shot with UP 7434 crossing the South Platte, it is not exactly the Mississippi River! Three units lead UP's MNYGR across the river on the Belt Industrial Lead. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The track to the right leads to Xcel Energy's Cherokee Power Plant. For decades, the power plant was powered by coal from mines in the Colorado high country. Today, the plant is powered by natural gas, so the track is no longer used. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

BNSF has a switch job that works six days a week switching cars out for the industries. Currently, a pair of GP39-2s have the task. The units are remote control enabled, so a single crewman is capable of throw switching and uncoupling cars, while controlling the units from his remote pack.

Among other things in the yard is a military train on Track 1. I presume the train originated from Fort Carson near Colorado Springs. Not sure where the equipment is headed.

Photo ID: 114006 Date Shot Photo By Friday, June 12, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 2 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Amtrak It doesn't happen very often, but every once in awhile, there are two Zephyrs in Denver at the same time. Typically, that means one of them is running extraordinarily late, and this morning is no exception. The train in the foreground, led by AMTK 146, arrived a few hours ago as #5. However, it was a 22 hours late #5! And, due to extreme weather, it is returning east as #6, departing on the Passenger Lead. Today's #5 is now arriving in the background, making a reverse move toward Union Station on the Buck Lead. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Yesterday's westbound Zephyr was running 22 hours late when it arrive in Denver.
