This is the second time I've found this particular car is this exact spot! Must be the preferred storage location while in Denver between trips.

This had been planned for years, but there was no funding. Finally, a mix of funds from Adams County, the Feds and Union Pacific came up with the money and the project is well underway. The new overpass would block the view of UP's signal bridge (for the Pecos Crossover), so the signal bridge is being relocated east.

I'm guessing it is some kind of GE something-tonner, but this is outside my realm of expertise! It was sitting near the grain elevators at Utah Junction.

And while "Amshack" tends to be a pejorative term used for crummy, tiny depots, that is not the case in Denver. The temporary depot is, in my opinion, nicer than a lot of permanent depots!

Granted there are only two units, but I'll take it. A C44-9W and an SD75M lead the Denver, CO to Pueblo, CO manifest. Here the train enters the "triple track" section of the Joint Line in south Denver. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I thought it was interesting that the doors on the long hood on UP 1526 were open after leaving Burnham! The unit (ex-SSW 7291) was definitely online. On August 1, 2003, I shot this very same unit when it was still in full, unpatched gray! It was working on the Montrose Local on that particular day.

The local has just come down off the Front Range Sub and is headed for the yard. It is going to have to stop for a bit though due to traffic ahead blocking its way. I love that in 2010, you can still find a blue and yellow GP60 and a Heritage GP38-2 working together on a train. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 103563 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, October 27, 2010 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 1 Denver, CO 2318 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Utah Railway This GP38 (still in the body of a GP35) was the fourth unit on BNSF's Provo to Denver train. After being dropped off in Denver, the unit would depart the following day on BNSF's Denver to Galesburg, IL manifest. This is a Utah Railway unit that I had always wanted to shoot but never got the chance in Utah. How ironic that I was finally able to capture in right in my own back yard in Denver! Rumor has it that the unit is off to Panama City, FL where it will be upgraded (rebuilt) as a GP38-3. Utah Railway sister unit UTAH 2000 is apparently there and being rebuilt as of this picture. So it would seem that UTAH 2002 will be returning to Utah Railway, but I guess only time will tell for sure. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

When I left home in Arvada, the train was just leaving Leyden. Considering rush hour traffic, I was shocked I got to Fox in time to get this shot...granted I got there with less that 30 seconds to spare!
