The overpass in the distance is that of E-470, Denver's toll road that loops around (most) of the city. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The westbound Zephyr is on the roll at track speed along Havana Street in Henderson on UP's Greeley Sub. The train is detouring through Wyoming on its journey west because the Moffat is closed for maintenance. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Decades after the last DDA40X was retired from revenue service, UP 6936 still run and can, from time to time, be found on the rails. Such was the case on this July day when it was assisting as power on the Cheyenne Frontier Days passenger special. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

They are a part of the Union Pacific heritage fleet and they look sharp. They, along with DDA40X #6936, lead the Cheyenne Frontier Days passenger special north at 144th Avenue south of Brighton. I like the Colorado and Wyoming state flags on the cab. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Believe it or not, but it has been six years since I actually go track side for the event. As you may or may not have heard, 2015 was the second year that Union Pacific did not have an operable steam engine for Frontier Days. However, a trio of classic E-units and a DDA40X make for some might fine power for the day. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

BNSF's ZDENCHI (Z-Train, Denver to Chicago) waits patiently in the siding for the late Zephyr to pass. The Zephyr has nothing but clear signals (and one 25 MPH slow order) standing between it and the station. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train also just crossed the "Quiet Zone" grade crossing at 104th Avenue, visible in the background. Note the "W" and "QZ" signs track side. The "W" indicating a grade crossing is coming up. the "QZ" indicating it is indeed a Quiet Zone and that no horn is necessary.

Photo ID: 104743 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, June 7, 2014 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Irondale Henderson, CO 2286 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Brush (BNSF) BNSF These days, freight trains do not typically (in general) run on a schedule. However, there are exceptions...at least to some extent! BNSF runs a single Z-Train into and out of Denver. The ZDENCHI and ZCHIDEN consist of COFC and TOFC cars (including UP trailers). The ZDENCHI departs Rennicks Yard each morning usually around 8:30am. If Amtrak is on time, this is usually right after it departs. On this Saturday morning, Amtrak was running late. As a result, the Z-Train is approaching a restricting signal at west Irondale. It will have to wait about 15 minutes for the tardy Zephyr to show up.

Several years ago, when I was a regular Ski Train volunteer, I had to load nearly 30 mountain bikes onto this car one day. The Bike Car had suffered fire damage, so passengers were kept out of this car and it was used as the Bike Car. That was a LONG (but fun) day!
