The FRA will not allow it to open due to issues with crossing gates staying down too long from time-to-time. However, RTD is allowed to test with empty trains. One such empty train is seen here, heading west at Tennyson Street. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Anything that cannot be repaired in Denver is typically sent to either North Platte, NE or Little Rock, AR. Here, a string of four units sits on one of the repair tracks at North Yard. Closest to the camera is an NRE 3GS21B; a low emissions unit that spends most of its time in either Texas or California.

This is a 3GS21B, often referred to as a Genset. It was built by National Railway Equipment and uses three low emission Cummins engines. UP has 59 on the roster, and they are primarily used in Texas and California, where emissions standards are more stringent.
