With all heavy maintenance having been moved to North Platte, I'm not even sure to what extent maintenance on engines can be done at North Yard these days. Regardless, the shop door is open on a Sunday afternoon. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 110401 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 14, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 92 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific A GP38-2 (now designated as a GP38N after a rebuilt by UP) and an SD40-2 sit together near the yard office in North Yard. These two units are idle at the moment, but when needed, they'll be used as switcher in the yard. It is pretty easy to trace the heritage of UP 737 by virtue of the fact that it has no dynamic brakes. With very few exception, nearly any unit without dynamic brakes is of Missouri Pacific heritage. MoPac ordered many units that had no dynamic brakes as MoPac ran in (relatively) flat lands. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This entire area, known as the Rhino District of Denver, has radically changed in the past 10-15 years. Massive apartment complexes have built up all around the yard. New restaurants have opened in the area and new bridges cross the yard to connect either side of the tracks. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Trains, cars, motorcycles, and even a few small planes. One of the "crown jewels" of the train collection is UP 4005. It is one of only 25 that were produced between 1941 and 1944. This particular one is "stuffed" meaning it is no longer operable. But it looks pretty great sitting inside the museum, safe and protected from the outside conditions of the world.

The graffiti has all been cleaned off, and the class lights and Mars lights have been restored.

Photo ID: 110396 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 14, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Forney Museum of Transportation Denver, CO 102 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Rio Grande Six years prior to this shot, DRGW 3006 was moved from Burnham to this location inside the Forney Transportation Museum. To the best of my knowledge, it is one of only two Rio Grande GP30s that have been preserved as Rio Grande units, both being in Colorado. In my very early days of rail photography back in 1997, I actually got a very similar shot (in terms of perspective) of DRGW 3006 when it was working in North Yard!
