It likely was due for an inspection and/or needed some maintenance, which would be why it was in North Platte. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

North Yard could not receive the train when it first arrived, so it was tied down here. A new crew has just arrived to pull forward beyond Pecos Crossover, and then back the train into North Yard. Nine units were leading the train! Most of which are likely just power transfers. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It was part of a 1,000 unit order back in 2000, but the end of its life might be near. It has been in long term storage, and it is possible that it is getting ready to head to the torch.

The CSX units do not make it to Denver very often, so I was glad I had the chance to capture the P&LE (Pittsburg & Lake Erie Railroad). The P&LE was under the control of New York Central (and later Penn Central) until 1970 when Penn Central declared bankruptcy. CSX ultimately purchased the P&LE in the early 1990s, leading to the eventual creation of the 15th CSX heritage unit, painted at the Waycross shops in 2024.

Photo ID: 114032 Date Shot Photo By Monday, July 13, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 52 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Utah Railway Utah Railway 5004 was built by Morrison Knudsen in August 1995 as an MK5000C. The unit, one of six, had a 5,000 HP caterpillar prime mover. The six units were great for hauling heavy coal trains, but developed some mechanical issues. In 2003, they were rebuilt as MK50-3s, with their prime movers and alternators replaced with those from retired SD50s. They served on Utah Railway until 2017. After the decline of the coal, Genessee and Wyoming (parent company of Utah Railway) reassigned the six units to another railroad they owned, the KYLE in Colorado and Kansas. Increasingly, the units were being used for parts. Last month (June 2026), it was announced that UTAH 5004 will be preserved at the Utah State Railway Museum in Ogden, UT. In this shot, the unit is in North Yard in Denver, making its way toward Ogden. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Or, at a minimum, was recently repainted. The "Dark Future" on this CSX unit looks darn near pristine as the fourth unit on the BNSF Laurel, MT to Denver, CO manifest.

The South Platte River does run through Denver. However, as you can see in this shot with UP 7434 crossing the South Platte, it is not exactly the Mississippi River! Three units lead UP's MNYGR across the river on the Belt Industrial Lead. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
