In this shot, the MNYGJ is heading west on the existing Main (future Main 1) as a tamper sits on future Main 2. BNSF's Golden Sub is on the right side of the picture. You can also see the new signals (turned to the side and not yet activated) for C&S Junction. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train is about to enter the yard limits of 36th street, leaving track warrant territory behind.

The second half of the train contains the component that connects the top of the windmill to the base. Both halves can be seen here with the Rockies (including Longs Peak) in the distance.

This windmill train is approaching the Ulster Street grade crossing. The rails laying along the track will be used for in the upcoming (re)construction of the Limon Sub and RTD's commuter line to Denver International Airport.

Once reaching Denver, the train will make an abrupt turn north and toward Cheyenne and the Overland Route for the trip to Utah.

A part of that new energy is wind power. And the way to move those components around is by rail! Here is a "windmill train" on it's way to Milford, UT from Hutchinson, KS. This train contains the tops of the windmills. The train is along the stretch of track between Havana Street and Ulster Street near the Stapleton Development.

The track next to the train is currently the Arvada Siding but soon it will be turned into Main 2.

Such was the case on this morning as the MNYGJ pulls out of C&S Jct on the Main Track. You can see the progress being made by BNSF on the right side of the frame. You can also see the lack of progress made by UP recently on Main 2. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The original schedule had the project stated for completion in December. The latest estimate is March. As you can see, concrete ties are standing by (and have been for months), but no rail for Main 2 has been laid yet. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Here, you can see a string of ballast cars...and a seas of ballast...sitting, waiting to lay more ballast on the new track.

While the bridge will be four lanes, one two are open thus far. Crews also have not yet erected fencing along the edges of the bridge (although the process has started). Here, the MNYGJ is on the left pulling out of North Yard on to the main. BNSF's Beer Run is holding on the North Yard siding waiting on the MNYGJ to get in the clear.

Just a group of units hanging out at the ready tracks in North Yard. However, upon closer inspection, note the unit on the left side of the shot. That is a former Espee GP40P-2. The steam generator has of course long since been removed, but the extended long hood and the angled radiators remain. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 104037 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, November 29, 2011 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 2511 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific, Kansas City Southern (ALL) Kansas City Southern really hit a home run with the Retro-Belle scheme in my personal opinion. So it was really great seeing a matched pair of Belle's on a military special in Denver. As it turns out, this is the first ES44 Retro-Belle that I've seen!
