Of the roughly 1,400 SD70Ms that UP ordered in the early 2000s, I am curious as to just how many are currently sitting in storage, not being used.

The two GP40-3s are working at the moment, so the SD40M-2 is being left behind in Denver with the SD18 that is used for switching.

They are going to replace the ties throughout the 6.2 mile long Moffat Tunnel. The project includes quite a bit of fresh ballast as well. This ballast train is on Track 1 in North Yard. Currently, there is no power...but eventually, the train will be taken west, up to the Moffat. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

At the end of July, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern announced their intention to merge. There are many regulatory hurdles for the railroads to overcome, but if they end up getting approval to merge, this is a scene that will become far more common.

Unfortunately, a few traffic lights through Littleton hemmed me up long enough to prevent the shot I wanted to get...but this one isn't too bad with the Front Range visible in the background.

As you can probably infer from the pictures, I-25 is an extremely busy freeway. Indeed, it is the busiest freeway in the state of Colorado, with congestion throughout the Denver Metro area a regular fixture to the freeway on a daily basis.

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.

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.
