Photo ID: 104236 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 1, 2012 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS005 (C&S Junction) Denver, CO 1963 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF Until the new main track is actually put in service (expected to be May 2012 at the time of this photo), the new switches at C&S Junction are hand-throw. So, when BNSF's Beer Train comes through, a UP guy on the ground has to manually throw both sides of the crossover (from Main 1 to Main 2), the switch from Main 2 to the Golden Branch and the Derail on the Golden Branch. Here, you can see the Beer Run crossing over from Main 1 to Main 2 and you can also see that the Derail has been properly aligned in the foreground.

In other words, there is going to be a great distance between the eastbound and westbound signals. The distance between signals will be nearly a half a mile! Here, BNSF's Beer Train departs from Main 3 in the distance as the yet-to-be-activated new signal for Main 1 stands facing the side in the foreground.

A new BNSF paint scheme that is just starting to be rolled out? Nope. BNSF bought several former leaser units from GATX Locomotive Rail Group (similar to this unit) and rather than spending the money to completely repaint the units, they matched the colors and applied their logo.
