UP had coal trains on the Inbound, Outbound, and Main tracks at Fox Junction. This resulted in Amtrak taking the BNSF New North Main through Rennicks to get the Utah Junction! Something of a rare occurance. Here, Amtrak is approaching Utah Junction on the BNSF track.

UP 1989 leads the MNYGJX-06 for its inagural run on the Moffat! The train is heading west on the North Yard Siding just past the Pecos Street Crossover. The BNSF Beer Run is to the left heading into Denver on Main 3.

Coming down the main track, UP 6849 will stop at Fox Junction and wait for a new crew. This particular coal load is headed south on the Joint Line rather than east on the KP.

BNSF decided to run their remainder of SD9's until they had a "catastrophic" failure. Perhaps BNSF 6154 experienced such a failure as it sits quietly near the roundhouse.

Twice a day, UP sends units over to the BNSF 31st Street Yard to pick up cars that are to be transferred from BNSF to UP. On this Saturday morning, two GP38-2's and a freshly painted GP15-1 take up the duty as they move past the BNSF roundhouse on the transfer track, headed for UP's 36th Street Yard.

Not a wide cab unit to be seen! Three SD40-2's (the third a former MoPac unit with no dynamic brakes) sit on the Lodo Siding just south of the 31st Street Yard.

The sun set about an hour ago, but there is still a hint of light in the northwestern sky as the power for the MNYPU (including UP 1989) awaits its train and its crew.

After public viewing of UP 1989 closed at noon, it was immediately moved into North Yard for preparations for movement to Burnham. There it will be examined before being placed in revenue service.

UP 1989 from nose to tail! I love the mountains at the front of the long hood and on the cab. Long time since there was a new unit with fly letters too!

The tail end of UP 1989. Those four stripes look extremely sharp. Great color scheme!
