Here, a 95-car coal load rolls east through the OS at C&S Jct, entering Bypass 2. The outbound crew is coming out of North Yard right now and will meet the train at Pecos.

The brakes are being released and the engineer has notched the unit into Run 1 to start creeping west. The unit is on the point of an empty oil train, ready to head west and tackle the Moffat.

Indeed, you can see the signal the crew is looking at on the signal bridge, right over the track. In just a minute, this signal will turn green and the train will depart west.

A visitor from the north is second out on the train. Of course, in the coming years, that paint scheme will eventually train be changed to the new CPKC scheme after the merger of Canadian Pacific and KCS.

They will pull west on Main 1 to clear the signal at C&S, then get a light to cross over to Main 2 and the North Yard siding to head back east. In the distance, you can just see the tail end of the westbound Zephyr on Main 2. One additional note of interest...UP 6345 was original SP 296!

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.

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 82 (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.
