The train is headed for the Savage load out in Utah. Alas, the train needed an air brake inspection and therefore had to pull in to North Yard rather than stay on a bypass track. As a result, the train departed with UP 1989 trailing, rather than leading. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Anything that cannot be repaired in Denver is typically sent to either North Platte, NE or Little Rock, AR. Here, a string of four units sits on one of the repair tracks at North Yard. Closest to the camera is an NRE 3GS21B; a low emissions unit that spends most of its time in either Texas or California.

Photo ID: 107563 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, June 23, 2018 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 1535 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific This is something of an interesting looking unit...one that we don't see in Denver too often. This is a 3GS21B, often referred to as a Genset. It was built by National Railway Equipment and uses three low emission Cummins engines. UP has 59 on the roster, and they are primarily used in Texas and California, where emissions standards are more stringent.

Classic switch engines are being retired by UP more frequently. This MP15AC was one of the lucky one to go through a rebuild program (and is now designated an MP15N) and should hang around for awhile longer.

For years after the UP/SP merger, you could count on finding at least a little bit of scarlet and gray in shots like this. Those days are pretty much behind us at this point, as Armour Yellow is the paint scheme of decade. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

North Yard is pretty well filled to capacity. The Greeley Sub is rumored to be the business single track line on the UP right now. There is a ton of traffic running between La Salle and Fort Collins...so much so, in fact, that UP is now running a dedicated train between North Yard and La Salle!

Photo ID: 105146 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, April 29, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 2235 (3 Comments Posted) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific If you look, you are likely to find shots taken from this same basic perspective over the years. 30 years ago, you'd probably see a pair of Rio Grande GP30s sitting along the tracks outside the yard office. And, of course, the UP shield would not have been there, but "Rio Grande" in fly letters would have been, along the top of the tower.

One of these two units is very familiar with North Yard as it has called it home for a very long time. UP 1359 started life as DRGW 3118. It was patched to its current number on September 15, 2005 and received a full repaint in 2013. UP 1459, 100 numbers higher, started life as (Cotton Belt) SSW 7600. It was patched in 2002 and fell into solid UP colors around the same time as UP 1359. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It is now owned by the KYLE railroad and has, unfortunately, fallen victim to some heavy tagging. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
