Running pretty much right on time, the morning Zephyr has left Denver Union Station behind and is continuing its trip west toward California. The train is on UP's Main 2 between Prospect Jct and Fox Jct. Between those control points, a distance of about a mile, UP has two main tracks. You can just see Main 1 on the far right side of the shot. The yard tracks are BNSF and part of Rennicks (intermodal) yard.

The track the unit ethanol train is on (led by three CSX units and a CP unit) is on UP's Main 2. Main 1 is off to the left. The other tracks in the shots are BNSF-owned and are not CTC here. They are yard tracks at the south end of Rennicks Yard. The ethanol train came to Colorado across the KP and is headed for NA Jct southeast of Pueblo. The sun is just barely cresting the horizon to the east.

Minutes before the sun peeks over the horizon, a southbound UP unit ethanol train is on UP's Main 2 between Fox Jct and Prospect Jct, alongside the south end of BNSF's Rennicks (intermodal) Yard. Three CSX units and a Canadian Pacific unit lead the train south.

BNSF's afternoon "Beer Run" is headed out of Denver, currently on UP's Main 2 between Prospect Jct and Fox Jct. The train will be on UP for just a few miles before entering the Golden Sub at C&S Junction. Only 3:30pm, yet the light feels like it is practically gone.
