Yard Shots BNSF, Union Pacific
A trio of units sit near BNSF's engine shop in Denver as a (somewhat unusual) morning storm moves in toward Denver from the southwest. An interesting note about UP 5701. That was the number ex-Rio Grande GP60 #3155 was originally slated to get in UP's roster. However, the GP60s were moved into the 1900-number series before the unit could actual pick up the number.

This is a little bit of an odd sight! A UP C44AC-CTE is poking its head out of BNSF's engine shop in Denver. BNSF was borrowing the unit from UP, and at this moment the unit was being used to drag a unit out of the engine facility.

Modern modelers rejoice! You can now take your DRGW Heritage Unit and your Zephyr train set and run them together!! UP 1989 sits on the point of the Zephyr at Union Station. The second P42 was not loading and UP 1989 was added in Salt Lake City to help out. The train would leave Union Station about 20 minutes later, with UP 1989 still on the point for the trip to Chicago.

In the foreground, UP 1989 and Amtrak 6 back down the passenger lead into Union Station. In the distance, the Colorado Rockies play the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field. The Pirates would go on to win, 7-3.

The eastbound Zephyr, led by UP 1989, backs down the passenger lead and into Union Station. Sure wish there had been a bit more water gathered in that pool on the ground!

Arriving in Denver just a few minutes late, the California Zephyr is led by UP 1989 into BNSF's 31st Street Yard. The train will then back down the passenger lead into Union Station.

Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF
Now that is the way to lead a BNSF trackage rights train on the Moffat! BNSF 756 - a VERY clean Warbonnet - led the QDVPVJ (Denver, CO to Provo, UT) manifest on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The train is approaching the Sheridan Blvd underpass.

Greeley (UP) Amtrak
On the last few miles of its "reroute" journey, the eastbound California Zephyr comes down the outbound track off the Greeley Sub at York Street. The train has spent half the summer months running from Denver to Salt Lake (and vice versa) via Wyoming due to maintenance on the Moffat.

In an effort to get a good view looking down the tracks, two of UP's steam team look out the fireman's side window of UP 844. The train is running down the outbound track through UP's 36th Street Yard.

A look down at UP 6936 - the only remaining active DDA40X - as the Frontier Days Special pulls slowly out of Union Station.

UP 844 and the Frontier Days trains were scheduled to depart Denver at 1:00pm and man did they nail that departure time! A pretty descent crowd gathered at Union Station to watch the train head north.

After a great run (in both directions) another year of the Cheyenne Frontier Days Steam Train is in the books. Black and white felt right for this shot as the train back over Broadway and past Coors Field, into Union Station.

There was a time between 30 and 40 years ago when this general area saw many eight-axle diesel locomotives! UP 6936 sits on the Broadway overpass. Back when DDA40X's were (relatively) common, Broadway came to town via a viaduct running over the tracks.

Got caboose? A pair of Department of Defense (DODX) cabeese hang out on a yard track in UP's 36th Street Yard. Exactly where they are going, I do not know!
