The ZLBDV has arrived in Denver and is currently shoving cars back in to the intermodal facility located just off of UP's 36th Street Yard. This entire area, known as the Rhino District of Denver, has radically changed in the past 10-15 years. Massive apartment complexes have built up all around the yard. New restaurants have opened in the area and new bridges cross the yard to connect either side of the tracks.

UP's intermodal yard in Denver is right next to their 36th Street Yard. A crew works to unload some containers off a train as a baretable (empty well cars) train arrives, led by a BNSF C44-9W. Whether these well cars will be used for containers, or simply put in storage, remains to be seen.

UP has three separate tracks in their 36th Street Yard in Denver that are currently being used for storage of power. Most of the units stored are SD70Ms and C44-9Ws. There has been a lot of development in the area as new buildings slowly grow up toward the sky.

A baretable train that originated in Council Bluffs, IA is arriving at its destination here in Denver. The well cars will either be used for transporting containers as an intermodal train, or possibly be placed in storage.

Yard Shots Rocky Mountaineer
Seeing as how it is currently the "off season" for the Rocky Mountaineer, it makes sense that maintenance activities would be taking place. Indeed, the truck from one of the passengers cars has been removed from the car itself. Hydraulic jacks have been used on either side of the passenger car to keep the car elevated while the truck is removed.

Amongst the power being stored in UP's 36th Street Yard was this gem of a C44-9W! UP 9754 practically looks as though is rolled out of the paint shop. Unfortunate that it is currently stuck in storage, along with many other C44-9Ws and SD70Ms.

The cars on the left side of the shot here in UP's 36th Street Yard are likely set up for locals that run north and east. The tank cars are likely being stored at the moment, and the UP power is definitely being stored.

UP's 36th Street Yard is mainly used for organizing cars for a few locals, and for storage. There are several strings of UP units that are currently in long term storage in the yard, include many SD70Ms and C44-9Ws.

A few years ago, these scene would have shown this oil train crossing underneath I-70. A major construction project has demolished the bridge (known as the "elevated deck") that I-70 used to run across and I-70 now runs through a trench in this area, with the tracks at the north end of the 36th street yard now crossing over I-70.

Neither of these units originally left the paint factory in UP Armour Yellow. In fact, UP 1357 started as DRGW 3102 when it was delivered in April 1972. UPY 691 started out in deep blue as MP 1691 in February 1982. UPY 691 has certainly seen better days!

A UP GP40-2 #1357 sits near the yard office at UP's 36th Street Yard. This particular GP40-2 is no stranger to Denver as it started life at DRGW 3102. On June 3, 1997, it absorbed in to UP's roster as UP 5256. About six years later, on September 30, 2003, it found its new home on the roster as UP 1357. Nearly twenty years later, that's the number it still owns.

A look toward downtown over UP's 36th Street Yard. The area is transforming from one that is largely industrial (whether active or abandoned) to one of mixed commercial and residential. As you can see in this shot, four climbing cranes are visible, working to build new buildings ever higher.
