Photo ID: 104605 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, March 5, 2014 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS005 (C&S Junction) Denver, CO 1509 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak The westbound Zephyr passes through the (rather long OS) at C&S Junction on Main 2. UP DS-86 uses Main 2 when possible between C&S and Arvada right now due to work on the commuter rail line right next to Main 1. That said, there is a Form B on both tracks past the limits of the work zone. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 104236 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 1, 2012 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS005 (C&S Junction) Denver, CO 1801 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF Until the new main track is actually put in service (expected to be May 2012 at the time of this photo), the new switches at C&S Junction are hand-throw. So, when BNSF's Beer Train comes through, a UP guy on the ground has to manually throw both sides of the crossover (from Main 1 to Main 2), the switch from Main 2 to the Golden Branch and the Derail on the Golden Branch. Here, you can see the Beer Run crossing over from Main 1 to Main 2 and you can also see that the Derail has been properly aligned in the foreground.

In other words, there is going to be a great distance between the eastbound and westbound signals. The distance between signals will be nearly a half a mile! Here, BNSF's Beer Train departs from Main 3 in the distance as the yet-to-be-activated new signal for Main 1 stands facing the side in the foreground.

As you can see, BNSF's Golden Sub is tied in to Main 2 and the crossover to Main 1 is complete. However, no tracks have yet been laid across the new bridge over Clear Creek!

In this shot, the MNYGJ is heading west on the existing Main (future Main 1) as a tamper sits on future Main 2. BNSF's Golden Sub is on the right side of the picture. You can also see the new signals (turned to the side and not yet activated) for C&S Junction. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Such was the case on this morning as the MNYGJ pulls out of C&S Jct on the Main Track. You can see the progress being made by BNSF on the right side of the frame. You can also see the lack of progress made by UP recently on Main 2. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The original schedule had the project stated for completion in December. The latest estimate is March. As you can see, concrete ties are standing by (and have been for months), but no rail for Main 2 has been laid yet. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

UP will be adding a second track here soon. Once the second track is in, the BNSF tracks will no doubt be hooked back up. The question now is exactly where will the BNSF tie back in.

There is obviously still quite a bit of work left to do in order to complete the bridge (adding a second track across the creek), but signs along the bike path beneath the bridge indicate it should be complete by August.

BNSF's Golden Sub has been severed from the UP at C&S Junction. UP is working on extending a second track west of C&S.
