Photo ID: 108067 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, May 23, 2020 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 802 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific Here is a real sign of the downturn in the economy thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic! North Yard has far more yard tracks open than it has filled right now. One of the tracks (the one that is mostly tank cars with some white covered hoppers at the end) is the end of a train. The MNYNP is about to depart for North Platte, NE and Bailey Yard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A GP48-2 and another SD40-2 sit on an engine track a few tracks over. The relative lack of cars in the parking lot at the yard office is an indication of the slim economy during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Photo ID: 107823 Date Shot Photo By Friday, January 4, 2019 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 1377 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific Overnight, UP 1989 led a coal empty down the Greeley Sub. 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 1368 (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!
