Three units, none if which are "natives" of Colorado, bring up the tail end of an eastbound loaded oil train. Most likely, BNSF will turn this train over to Kansas City Southern (now CPKC) someplace further east.

A pair of BNSF SD70ACes and a KCS ES44AC lead an eastbound loaded unit oil train through the middle of residential Arvada. The skyscrapers of downtown Denver are visible in the distance.

UP's MGJNY crosses Kipling Street on its way in to Denver. While it is not okay to see the mountains in the distance covered in snow, it is a little less common to have the near-foot of snow we have on the ground. Makes a fantastic winter scene as the train rolls through Arvada.

The West Local is returning from Rocky (and the Rocky Flats Industrial Lead) back to North Yard. It is currently in the heart of western Arvada. The flatirons of the front range of the Rockies rise in the background. Further back to the right, Longs Peak is snow-covered.

The eastbound Rocky Mountaineer approaches a clear (green) intermediate signal at MP 9.8. The train will be taking Bypass 1 across the Belt Industrial Lead to get to its final stop at UP's 36th Street Yard, just outside of Denver. The skyline of which stands tall in the distance.
