After a quick crew change at the BNSF yard office a few blocks to the northeast, this westbound coal train is ready to continue toward Denver. The train had been a southbound on the Angora Sub, but has now switched to a westbound for the journey on the Brush Sub. The train is passing UP's yard office.

This southbound is coming off the south end of the BNSF Angora Sub and is entering Restricted Limits at Sterling, leaving CTC bhind. The track way off to the far right is UP's track which runs to Julesburg, CO and the Overland Route. That track only sees about a train a week, when a local runs from Julesburg to Sterling and back.

While there are no trains in this shot, I thought it would be worth including. This is looking northeast down UP's Julesburg Subdivision. This line connects in with the Overland route in Juleburg. Prior to being abandoned in the 1990's, this line continued southwest from Union, CO to Greeley, CO. It offered a more direct route from the midwest (North Platte, NE, etc) to Denver. However, today the line typically only sees a local that runs from Julesburg to Sterling and back.

While BNSF runs tens of trains through Sterling, CO each day, UP has a very limited presence. UP runs a local out of North Platte, NE that goes to Sydney, NE, then Julesburg, CO and finally, Sterling. Here, the local sits with three tank cars of molasses. The cars will be delivered to their destination later in the week.

My very first time ever in the town of Sterling, CO. This is a crew change point on BNSF and marks the change from the Angora Sub (to the northeast) and the UP Julesburg Sub (to the southwest). The train seen here has a fresh crew and is preparing to depart for Denver and points beyond. In the distance, the next train is rolling into town.
