Unfortunately, a freight train that departed on the Brush Sub ahead of Amtrak got stuck at a red signal, delaying Amtrak about 10 minutes. had the delay not occurred, the sunset would have been a bit more spectacular!

It is 7:35pm...Amtrak would come to a stop at 7:43pm - precisely on time! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The eastbound Zephyr must borrow a part of BNSF's yard in order to back into Union Station on the Passenger Lead. Note the conductor from the head end walking to throw a switch.

Although most of the sky is overcast, there is enough of a gap to the west to allow for some nice silhouette lighting to sneak through.

A Norfolk Southern "Catfish" (a name given to NS C44-9Ws by railfans) is sandwiched by two Warbonnets. Unfortunately, the second Warbonnet was blocked by additional power and I couldn't include any more of the unit. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

At least once per day, UP comes to 31st Street from 36th Street to drop off and pick up interchange cars. Likewise, BNSF heads to North Yard from 31st Street to do the same.

The reason being that this unit was in the consist of the MDVSI-04, getting ready to head east out of town. I have a strong suspicion that this unit might be headed for North Little Rock for a fresh coat of Armour Yellow paint! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train was symboled QDVLJ and QLJDV. It was very common for this train to run with GP30s, GP35s and GP39-2s. Some twenty years later, it was a nice surprise to find a GP30 and a GP35 - both wearing the Yellow Bonnet - heading to town from the Golden Spur.

It is actually the Golden Switch job. There are several industries that run along the line that have nothing to do with Coors that need to be switched. Here, the switch job is bringing a few cars into town. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

BNSF 9150 is one of newest units (an SD70ACe) on BNSF's roster. The unit was delivered this year and has EMDs "Whisper Cab". BNSF 520 is a badly faded B40-8W.
