A string of five units sit ready for assignment, basking away in the later afternoon sun. The front-most unit is a Norfolk Southern SD70M-2, which don't make their way to Colorado very often. In the distance, a "Rocktober" banner is still posted on Coors Field, thanks to the Rockies fantastic performance since June.

Two DPU units on the tail end of a southbound coal load push hard on Main Two. Meanwhile, the Salt Mine switch job pulls on a string of cars on the right side of the shot.

A site that you don't exactly see on a daily basis! BNSF's HKCKDEN (Kansas City - Denver) picked up an Amtrak California F59PH from the testing center outside Pueblo. This F59 came east from California on the Zephyr last September.

This SW1000 comes from Western Rail Leasing. I honestly have no idea where it is headed, but it was sitting all by its lonesome in BNSF's yard.

Somewhat obscured by trees, BNSF's HDENLAU (Denver, CO to Laurel, MT) is working on assembling its train in the yard. Once its air test is complete, it'll head north toward the Front Range Sub and points beyond.

Coming around the wye from Prospect Jct, a trio of C44-9W's lead the eastbound MPVODEN. The train just came across the Moffat from Provo, UT and is about to pull into the yard at Denver, the sun getting low in the afternoon sky.

Once returning to Denver, the Ski Train has to borrow some trackage in BNSF's 31st Street Yard is order to back in Union Station. The train is on the main here, passing the coal train (Coal One and Coal Two), both of which are currently occupied.
