Photo ID: 106951 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, January 6, 2018 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS004 (Pecos X-Over) Denver, CO 1387 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak, BNSF 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. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

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. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

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!

Photo ID: 106658 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, October 7, 2017 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed York Street Denver, CO 1445 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Belt Industrial Lead (UP) Amtrak The California Zephyr is passing by Xcel Energy's Cherokee Power Plant in northeast Denver. For decades, this power plant has been powered by coal. However, Xcel is nearly done converting it to run on natural gas. The two white stacks to the left are new, and part of the gas-burning portion of the plant. The stack to the right are older and part of the coal-burning portion of the plant. The Zephyr, incidentally, is here because it is detouring through Wyoming. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
