After stopping at C&S, the inbound crew on this coal empty will pull the two units off the train and take them into the yard to pick up three additional units. The outbound crew will then take the five units back to the train later this afternoon. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

UP 8134 leads a westbound coal empty onto Bypass 2. The crew on a coal load on Bypass 1 is working to put the train back together after cutting out the mid-train swing helpers. And, those exact mid-train swing helpers are on Main 3 in the distance, being taken to the engine tracks in North Yard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train is on Bypass 2 here between C&S Junction and Pecos Crossover. Normally, BNSF trains would be on Main 3 (next track to the left). However, the westbound Zephyr is just about to depart Denver, and the oil train is facing a red signal at the Pecos Crossover signal bridge. Once the Zephyr goes by, the train will cross over from Bypass 2 to Main 3 at Pecos, and continue to the yard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

That day hasn't come yet, and the move to get into the North Yard storage yard, necessitating the Big Boy to move a little bit west on the Moffat Tunnel Sub is the best we've got! Here, Big Boy is backing down the North Yard siding, heading into the storage yard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The Zephyr uses the BNSF Buck Lead out of Union Station, running to Prospect Jct and the Moffat alongside North Yard. The Rocky Mountaineer has now contract with BNSF, so the RM has to run northeast through UP's 36th Street Yard and across the Belt to the Moffat. Here, RMRX 8020 leads the train on Bypass 2 at Pecos, having completed the run across the Belt. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Many of them use hi-rail trucks to drive on the rails and ensure the track is in shape. One such UP MOW hi-rail truck is headed east on Bypass 2 in the OS at Pecos, headed for Broadway.
