This is not something you see particularly often! A pair of Amtrak P42DCs leading an Amtrak Special train south on Main 1 by the siding of Hogan's Alley.

AMTK 22 and AMTK 134 back up on the Coal Lead and onto the main track at BNSF's 31st Street Yard. Once clear of the crossovers, the crossover will be aligned for Main 2, and the train will depart toward the Joint Line.

Amtrak, working with the Washington State Department of Transportation, came up with a nice looking paint scheme for this AIRO train set that will run in the Cascades. The green scheme, with the Mt Rainier stamps, looks very nice. Here, the train set is back toward BNSF's 31st Yard so it can depart south on the Joint Line.

As we see this Amtrak Cascades AIRO train set back toward BNSF's 31st Street Yard, I cannot help but wonder if this site could become more often in the future. Not the Cascades livery, but CDOT is looking to try to start train service between Denver and Granby on the Moffat. I wonder if CDOT might look at a Siemens train set like this for their trains.

This Amtrak Cascades AIRO trainset is departing Union Station on the Buck lead. It is going to back through the "wash rack" track toward BNSF's 31st Street Yard, and then depart south on the Joint Line.

Near BNSF's engine house, on the Buck lead, an Amtrak special is departing Union Station. An Amtrak Cascades trainset is going to head south on the Joint Line to go to the Transportation Technology Center near Pueblo, CO.

Sitting near the BNSF engine house was this SD75M! SD75s (both SD75Ms and SD75Is) have become exceedingly rare in recent years. BNSF has been keeping most of them in long term storage. Loved catching this one on this Friday morning.

Love that this "yellow bonnet" GP39-2 has been hanging out around Denver lately, and working as a yard job switcher at BNSF's 31st Street Yard.

UP 1616, leading a UP passenger special, sits tied down in the storage yard at North Yard while the morning California Zephyr, running a few minutes late, rolls by on the main track. Wonder how many people on the train took note of the specially painted SD70M?

I wanted to get a close up shot of the nose of UP 1616, making sure to get a close up of the portrait of Abraham Lincoln himself, the 16th President of the United States.

A good side shot of the Abraham Lincoln unit as it sits in Denver in the North Yard storage yard, near the grain elevator. I am not sure what inspired UP to create this unit, honoring the 16th President. Nor am I complaining. It looks great. Just not sure what the motivation was for creating it.

I've been lucky enough to capture some shots of UP 1616 a couple of times now, but this is the first time I've been able to get a shot of it when its nose is not coupled to something else! It is leading a passenger train that is supposedly going to sit here in the North Yard storage yard for a few days before departing. Departing where...unknown at the time of this picture!

After running from Denver to Cheyenne with UP 4014 on the point, completing the 2025 steam excursion, the passenger equipment and UP 1616 (plus UP 4404 added) returned south down the Greeley Sub to Denver with UP 1616 leading! The exact purpose for the trip is not known, but the train is once again being kept in the storage yard. Note the "rent-a-cop" car from a company UP has hired to ensure nothing happens to the train (graffiti, etc).
