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. The new Arvada Siding is being built just to the left of BNSF Golden Sub near the right side of the picture. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

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.

Photo ID: 104055 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, January 15, 2012 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS003 (Utah Junction) Denver, CO 1891 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific About a month ago, the new Pecos Street flyover was completed near Utah Junction. 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.

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!

Photo ID: 104036 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, November 29, 2011 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 2748 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific, Kansas City Southern A Military Special came into Denver off the Limon Sub overnight. It crossed the Belt Main and entered the Main Track at CP DS002. After pulling down to Fox Junction, the crew on the train was ready to depart south on the Joint Line for Fort Carson. But BNSF wasn't ready for the train! With Amtrak coming, the train had to make a reverse move to get in the clear in the North Yard Siding. That worked out well for me as I got a shot of it backing down the main. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

While I don't dislike BNSF's New Image scheme, I was always very fond of Santa Fe's paint jobs. Here, a Yellow Bonnet SD40-2 sits with a Heritage I SD40-2 near the house in Denver.

While the SD70MACs certainly haven't disappeared completed, ES44ACs and SD70ACes have become far more prevalent. Here, a northbound (about to turn eastbound) coal empty is pulling through the yard.
