This UP manifest, which just ran south on the Greeley Sub, is nearing the end of its trip to North Yard. The train is about to cross over the Moffat Sub at the diamond here at Utah Jct. The track in the foreground, the Moffat Sub, is the track the Zephyr uses twice daily between Union Station and the Rockies. UP 7855 will be taking their train in to Yard Track 5. They will cut the engines off the train and run them to "the pit" for servicing.

At Utah Jct, UP 7855 crosses over BNSF's "New North Main" on its way in to North Yard. BNSF's New North Main continues north on the other side of the diamond to BNSF's Front Range Subdivision, which runs north to Cheyenne. This diamond is one of the very few stretches of CTC for BNSF trains anywhere between Denver and Cheyenne.

Wanted to grab a quick roster shot of UP 6294 specifically because, under that yellow paint scheme, you'd find scarlet and gray. Indeed, the AC4400CW started life as SP 241. This summer, the unit celebrates its 29th birthday, as it was originally delivered in June of 1995.

UP 7855 is slowing toward a stop on the Belt Industrial Lead. They do not have a route in to the yard yet, so the engineer will bring the train to a stop just east of Washington Street so as not to block any grade crossing while waiting to get in to North Yard.

The Belt Industrial Lead, which connects North Yard to 36th Street Yard and the Greeley Sub, also has quite a few connections to local industries along the way. You can see two tracks that curve north toward industries in the area. Meanwhile, UP's MGRNY (Manifest, Green River, WY to North Yard, CO) approaches on the main train.

UP's MNYGR (Manifest, North Yard, CO to Green River, WY) departs from North Yard six days a week, typically departing right after the Zephyr and, when necessary, the Rocky Mountaineer have passed by. Here, the train is crossing over the South Platte River on the Belt Industrial Lead. The lead connects North Yard to the Greeley Sub.

The Department of Energy recently built this 12-axle nuclear waste car, named Atlas. The car will apparently be used by the Navy in the transportation of spent nuclear fuel from nuclear ships in the US fleet. The car is headed for the testing center near Avondale, CO

An ET44C4 leads a southbound BNSF special across the South Platte River. This track is used to connect the Joint Line to UP's North Yard and BNSF's Rennick's Yard. This train had to back out of BNSF's yard to Prospect Jct to then continue south here.

A southbound manifest crosses over Mississippi Avenue at South Denver. This is the former location of the Gates Rubber plant, which has since been torn down and new apartments are now being built in the area. You can see the pedestrian overpass in the distance that crosses all three main track and both RTD light rail tracks.

A northbound coal empty with a single ES44AC on the point is tied down on Main 2 at South Denver. With this being the Memorial Day holiday weekend, it could be quite awhile before a crew is ready to take it. Note Pikes Peak standing tall in the distance.
