DRGW 3006 has sat in this spot in Burnham Yard for 20 years! It was spotted here after being retired in 1998 and here it has sat ever since. But now, after two decades, the time has come for it to be moved...

With the air test on DRGW 3006 completed and the brakes properly released, the conductor on the ground gives hand signals to the engineer to go ahead and pull to the south.

It frankly is not too often that I have the opportunity to shoot the westbound Zephyr in light that is this good! The train lost nearly three hours before leaving Illinois, and then continued to lose ground on the way to Denver. It is now a little over six hours late as it heads west on Main 2 between C&S Junction and Arvada.

One of the P42DCs on the westbound Zephyr is kicking up a lot of exhaust! Perhaps this is the symptom of the problem that resulted in this BNSF ES44DC being added to the point for the journey west.

A sharp looking ES44DC leads the westbound Zephyr. The train has a clear signal at the Pecos Crossover on Main 3.

The westbound Zephyr has a lot of time to make up as it departs Denver westbound. Guessing a failure in one of the P42DCs was a contributing factor to the delay as a BNSF ES44DC has been added to the point. The train is on Main 3, passing empty Bypass tracks and an empty North Yard Siding.

A westbound BNSF manifest, led by a trio of Heritage 2 C44-9Ws, approaches the yard in Denver. The train has a diverging restricting signal ahead (red over flashing red) to allow it to enter the yard and leave the Brush Sub behind.

BNSF's engine house in Denver tends to be feast or famine...and, as you can tell, it was feasting on this morning! Cascade green, an SD70MAC in the "Green and Cream" scheme, Heritage, Heritage 2, New Image, Tier 4, and Kansas City Southern are all represented in this one shot!

BNSF 573 is one of a very few B40-8s that are still on BNSF's active roster. This unit was delivered in April of 1989 to Santa Fe. Many of its brothers have turned in to parts donors for units like 573 that are still active. The unit was sitting by itself near the engine house on this December morning.

BNSF: Through the years! A nice collection of power and paint schemes in these four units. It includes an ES44DC in the New Image scheme, a pre-production ES44AC in the Heritage 2 scheme, a C44-9W "Goat Boat" in the Heritage scheme, and a C44-9W in the Heritage 2 scheme.

Limon (UP) Union Pacific
A pair of UP SD70Ms are pulling four electric units that will be used on commuter rail. The units were built by Siemens and are headed for Pennsylvania. RTD's "A Line", which runs from Union Station to Denver International Airport, follows UP's Limon Sub for much of the run. Here, just west of Airport Blvd, the A-Line ascends and crosses over the Limon Sub. If only a commuter train has passed over right at this moment!

On a partly cloudy morning, a cloud has moved in to cast a shadow on the scene as an ES44AC leads an eastbound coal train toward the York Street grade crossing. The train is leaving the Belt Industrial Lead behind and will soon turn east toward the Limon Sub.

A northbound UP local (whose last car is just visible on the right side of the shot) has just cleared the north end of the 36th street yard. A coal load with an eastern leader is pulling toward the yard from the Belt Industrial Lead.
