After nearly a year of construction (start to finish), UP completed Main 2 between C&S Junction and Arvada on May 8, 2012. Here, a few days after opening, a westbound UP coal empty on Main 2 meets the eastbound Beer Run near Sheridan Blvd. The Beer Run will run down to C&S Junction and cross from the Golden Sub to Main 2 and then to Main 3 on in to the yard.

Moving up, we see BNSF's Golden Sub, the newly laid and ballasted Arvada Siding, future Main 2 and the train itself on future Main 1 (currently still just the "Main Track").

The old Arvada siding has been ripped out (the old switch is laying on the ground in this shot) and the rails and ties for the future Main 2 have been laid. Ballast is the next thing needed for Main 2. Meanwhile, a BNSF manifest heads east at track speed through the work zone. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

These were once Espee cars so they probably don't look as good as they once did, but yellow is better than the torch! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A new Light Rail bridge will be built over the UP mains right at this spot! In the meantime, however, seven units lead BNSF's HPVODEN (Provo to Denver trackage rights train) toward Denver. They are on what will become Main 1 after the new track project is complete. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
