After making the trip north from Trinidad (and points south), this northbound has passed by Salt Creek Junction and will soon continue north toward the Joint Line and Denver. It will eventually reach the Black Thunder Mine in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming.

Pueblo (BNSF) BNSF
The interchange at Pueblo Junction tends to be a busy one! At this location, UP trains coming from and going to Denver come through the junction on one track, BNSF trains coming from and going to Denver come through on another, all southbounds leave on a third track, and northbounds arrive on a fourth track. Here, a BNSF southbound is headed for the Pueblo Subdivision to continue on to La Junta. Northbounds arrive from the Spanish Peaks Sub on the track to the right.

The Joint Line in Colorado between Union Pacific and BNSF officially ends (at its southern point) at Bragdon. Here, the BNSF track is the western track, leading to the BNSF yard in Pueblo. Likewise, the UP track is the eastern track, leading to their yard. Here, a BNSF manifest is on the main track (the siding of Bragdon in the foreground) as it heads for Pueblo.

From the 4th Street overpass in Pueblo, you can get a good view of either the UP (ex-DRGW) yard or the BNSF (ex-ATSF) yard. This shot shows the former Santa Fe Yard with a coal load slowly passing by on the main track. UP's yard is to the left on the other side of the road.

About eight miles north of Bragdon, this BNSF manifest is moving quickly on Main 2 headed for Denver. It had a great consist...I particularly liked the GP60M second out!

Colorado & Wyoming #104 is one of three GP7's built in 1951 that have been wonderfully preserved by the Pueblo Railway Museum. The units are fully operable and make small trips around some of the yard tracks near the Pueblo Depot.

There are three fully-operational GP7's preserved by the Pueblo Railway Museum. The units are all Colorado & Wyoming and one of the three (#102) is painted in a very festive bicentennial scheme. I caught the unit make a few moves back and forth near the depot.

Nearly 109 miles south of Denver Union Station, the Colorado State Fair Express passes the famous triple-signals at Bragdon. Bragdon is where track warrants end and CTC starts (for trains headed south). The special is staying on Main 1 which is BNSF owned and dispatched. The next track over is the Bragdon siding, also owned by BNSF. The last track to the right crosses trains over between Main 1 and Main 2.
