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.

A pair of SD40-2s starts pulling on a long string of double stacks out of the loading area at Rennicks. These containers are quite possibly bound for Chicago on the highest priority train BNSF runs out of Denver, the ZDENCHI. If that is the case, they will see an early morning departure the following day.

Located on the east side of UP's North Yard in BNSF's Rennicks Yard. This yard represents BNSF's intermodal presence in Denver (which, admittedly, isn't much). BNSF runs an intermodal train between Denver and Tacoma, WA and one between Denver and Chicago, IL. Thus, the two tracks located at Rennicks are sufficient to get the job done! Here, a pair of SD40-2s prepare to pull a string of double stack containers south.

Not long ago, this empty field was the home of American Concrete Pavement. Among other things, the company built thousands of concrete ties for railroads all over the country. The plant has moved to Pueblo, CO now and construction on a new maintenance facility for RTD (for EMU vehicles) is under way.

Destruction and construction! The concrete tie plant (owned by Rocla) that used to be located just east of BNSF's Rennicks Yard has been moved to Pueblo, CO. The reason? RTD and the FasTracks project! The old building for the tie plant has largely been torn down and can be see way off in the distance. Meanwhile, a lot of construction has already been completed on the new Light Rail flyover.

At Fox Junction, there is a pedestrian bridge built over the tracks. On my way down off the bridge, this shot through the framework of the bridge caught my eye.

Approaching Fox Junction, this blade train is slowly rolling down BNSF's New North Main at Rennicks. The track to the left of the blade train is UP's main line and the only track visible under CTC.
