Yard Shots BNSF
Denver's rail intermodal scene is pretty small compared to markets like LA or Chicago. Rennicks Yard represents BNSF's entire intermodal presence in Denver. Granted, it is not an insignificant yard, seen here form the north end. A lot of JB Hunt (and other) trailers flow through here on a weekly basis.

A BNSF switch job, with a still-yellow-and-blue GP39-2, waits patiently at a red signal at Utah Jct. BNSF's tracks cross UP's Belt Lead at Utah Junction, and the diamond is controlled by Union Pacific DS-378. So, the BNSF crew is at the mercy of UP's dispatcher to allow them to cross the diamond to continue their switching.

At the south end of Rennicks yard, BNSF's Denver-Laurel manifest is pulling north on the "New North Main" through Fox Junction. The train is quite long today, coming in at over 8,000 feet in the length. While the head end is over here at Fox, the tail is still in the yard over at 31st Street. The train is starting to pull up toward Utah Jct to clear up for the Zephyr, which is ready to head west (but currently blocked).

Yard Shots BNSF, Santa Fe
Classic Santa Fe blue and yellow units are, of course, becoming increasingly rare in 2025. So, I was really happy to nab this shot of a BNSF GP39-2 (still painted in "Yellowbonnet") with a former-Santa Fe SD45-2B sitting in North Yard in the distance, waiting to be moved to Iowa. BNSF 2854 is switching some intermodal cars around at Rennicks.

Near Rennicks Yard, a BNSF GP60 and a GP39-2 sit attached to a handful of cars that need to be switched out at local industries. It's been awhile since I've seen a GP60, so I was very happy to come across this guy.

After nearly an hour of nothing moving, I was about ready to call it a day and head home when I noticed a blade train coming off the Front Range Sub! The train was instructed to pull through Rennicks and continue south on the Joint Line. A new crew was waiting at Walnut Street. Here, the train is coming through Rennicks Yard.

An SD40-2 and a GP39-2 work to switch out strings of double stack containers in Rennicks Yard. The three tracks closed to the camera are owned by BNSF. All tracks beyond are owned by Union Pacific. Indeed, the classic North Yard yard office rests on the far sides of the tracks.

An SD40-2 and a GP38-2 sit on the point of a yard job on BNSF's "New North Main" near Utah Junction. The yard job will switch out several local industries in the area before returning back to BNSF's 38th Street Yard.

At the south end of Rennicks, BNSF's intermodal yard in Denver, a couple of sets of power are hanging out. A crew appears to be working on one set, perhaps for a southbound train on the Joint Line later in the day.

A toploader works on unloading some containers off this train at Rennicks. A sea of empty frames (that these containers can be loaded on to in order to be hauled by truck) sit on the east side of Rennicks.

A truck driver hooks up to his trailer as he prepares to pull away and head for his destination. Rennicks Yard primarily handles two intermodal trains per day: the ZDENCHI9 (which departs around 7am) and the ZCHIDEN9 (which arrives around 7pm). When crews are not working on loading or unloading these trains, they can focus on the few others trains that original from Rennicks.

Modern intermodal sideloaders are capable of lifting trailers (with their arms, shown lowered here) or with the container locking pins (on the top of the container). BNSF has two sideloaders onsite at the Rennicks intermodal facility.
