Photo ID: 108798 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, September 5, 2021 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 36th Street Yard Denver, CO 1142 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific Holy construction! For 50 years, I-70 has crossed through the east part of Denver on a bridge known as the "elevated deck". With that bridge aging, it was apparent it would need to be replaced. The Colorado Department of Transportation instead decided to drop I-70 in to a trench and knock down the elevated deck. A small piece of the elevated deck that hasn't been torn down is still visit to the right of the Purina factory. Meanwhile, UP 4014 stops across I-70 on new tracks and a new bridge at the north end of 36th Street Yard, waiting to back in.

Photo ID: 106342 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, January 14, 2017 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 36th Street Yard Denver, CO 1549 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific With the construction of the RTD A-Line (Commuter Rail) from Union Station to DIA, several new pedestrian overpasses have been constructed. One such overpass crosses UP's 36th Street Yard in Denver. This offers a new perspective on the yard that was not previously possible! Here, we can see units used on locals and for switching in the yard (to the right), and some units on the "ready track" to the left. Those units (to the left) will be used on the MDVSI (Manifest, Denver, CO to Salina, KS). Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
