At Sandown Junction at Ulster Street, a UP oil train heads east on Main 1 alongside RTD's A-Line that connects Union Station to Denver International Airport. This entire corridor has changed quite a bit in the past decade as RTD's commuter rail was built up. As part of the agreement to acquire some of UP's land, RTD paid for the addition of a second main track and installation of CTC through here.

Belt Industrial Lead (UP)

An eastbound UP oil train rolls through CP DS901 (Stock Yards) on the 4-mile long Belt Industrial Lead which connects North Yard to UP's Greeley Sub and Limon Sub. The train is passing by Xcel Energy's Cherokee Power Plant. The plant generates 928 megawatts of power for the Denver area. It was built as a coal-burning plant in 1968, that was served by Rio Grande (and later SP and UP) for decades. However, in 2017, the plant converted to natural gas and has not burned coal since.
