Photo ID: 111312 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 17, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS005 (C&S Junction) Denver, CO 103 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific An SD70ACe is being added to the pair of ES44ACs that are currently on a westbound oil train on Bypass 1. After getting the unit added, waiting for the Zephyr, and performing an air test, the oil train will be ready to head west. In the distance, you can see the tail end of an eastbound oil load that arrived a few hours earlier. That power will be removed from the train before it departs east for the KP.

Photo ID: 111311 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 17, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS005 (C&S Junction) Denver, CO 129 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific The conductor on this single SD70ACe looks out the window as the unit backs across Federal Blvd on Main 1. The unit will be added to the point of a westbound empty oil train. A few years ago, UP laid off all of the engine hostlers in Denver. These hostlers would make sure power changes like this were done before the road crew showed up. Now, the road crew is responsible for doing all these power shuffling activities before departing the yard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 111310 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 17, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS005 (C&S Junction) Denver, CO 119 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific A single UP SD70ACe sits on Main 1 just west of the signals at the C&S Junction. Before unit trains (mostly oil trains these days, coal trains in the past) head west on the Moffat, UP frequently will do a little power shuffling. Often times adding a unit to a train that came off the relatively flat plains before it heads into the Rockies. Such is the case here as this SD70ACe is waiting for authority from DS-378 to back east onto the point of a westbound oil train, just barely visible way off in the distance. This shot also demonstrates how long the OS at C&S Junction is. It must be one of the longest anywhere, as it is roughly 1/2 a mile between switches!

It is around 50°F outside, and slowly warming up. It may be the last temperate day for awhile as, starting tomorrow, there is at least a 40% chance for snow all the way until next Sunday.

The Zephyr is running right on time as it charges west on Main 3 (changing to Main 2 here at C&S). Four tracks collapse down to just two when heading westbound here at C&S. The four tracks, from left-to-right, are Bypass (Main) 1, Bypass (Main) 2, Main 3, and the North Yard Siding. The two tracks in the foreground, from left-to-right, are Main 1 and Main 2.

The train is actually stopped just short of Lowell Blvd, waiting for a signal at C&S and continue in to the yard. If you look closely, you can actually see the crossover bent from Main 2 to Main 1.

The SD70ACe is, of course, sporting the New Image scheme. SD70MAC 9709 has the short-lived "green and cream" scheme. The two SD40-2s that will run on the Golden Local are also on the train, one with a New Image and one with the original Heritage scheme. The train is crossing over Clear Creek at C&S Junction.
