East of Rennicks Yard, there are roughly a dozen or so companies that ship and/or receive via rail. BNSF has a switch job that works six days a week switching cars out for the industries. Currently, a pair of GP39-2s have the task. The units are remote control enabled, so a single crewman is capable of throw switching and uncoupling cars, while controlling the units from his remote pack.

A trio of units are elephant-style on the head end of BNSF's Denver to Laurel manifest. The train is sitting on BNSF's "New North Main" alongside Rennicks Intermodal Yard on one side, and UP's North Yard on the other side. The train is working on getting a track warrant so it can head north on the FRS.

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).

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.
