They are going to replace the ties throughout the 6.2 mile long Moffat Tunnel. The project includes quite a bit of fresh ballast as well. This ballast train is on Track 1 in North Yard. Currently, there is no power...but eventually, the train will be taken west, up to the Moffat. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

At the end of July, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern announced their intention to merge. There are many regulatory hurdles for the railroads to overcome, but if they end up getting approval to merge, this is a scene that will become far more common.

I am not sure what inspired UP to create this unit, honoring the 16th President. Nor am I complaining. It looks great. Just not sure what the motivation was for creating it.

It is leading a passenger train that is supposedly going to sit here in the North Yard storage yard for a few days before departing. Departing where...unknown at the time of this picture!

The exact purpose for the trip is not known, but the train is once again being kept in the storage yard. Note the "rent-a-cop" car from a company UP has hired to ensure nothing happens to the train (graffiti, etc). Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Back when intermodal ran over the Moffat, in the Rio Grande and Southern Pacific days, the track the passenger train is on here was used as an intermodal ramp. Intermodal loaders/unloaders were in the open dirt area, and truck came in to pickup or drop off trailers here. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Most of these cars have come from one of four trains: the MGJNY (from Grand Junction), the MGRNY (from Green River, WY), the MNNPNY (from North Platte), or the MPUNY (from Pueblo). There are some other manifest trains that run into North Yard, but these four are the most common ones. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
