A yard job works on switching cars out at 36th Street Yard. However, you won't find anybody in the cab of UP 712. This is a remote switch job and the RCL operator is on the ground at the opposite end of the string of cars, throwing switches.

Even though it is only 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is getting very low in the western sky. An ES44AC and a pair of SD70Ms have been fueled and are ready to lead the MDVSI from Denver to Salina, KS.

I found an intruder at UP's 36th Street Yard on this particular Sunday! A relatively new BNSF SD70ACe was hanging around on load to UP. Not long after this picture, the unit headed north and then west toward Green River, WY.

Power for the Denver, CO to Green River, WY freight has just coupled onto the train. An SD70ACe delivered in May 2007, UP 8564, will be leading two cousin SD70Ms for the trip north up the Greeley Subdivision.

A five month old ES44AC sits in the yards awaiting its next assignment. Later in the day the unit would be assigned to the ADVFGR which moved some empty auto racks to Griffin, IN.

One of the newest units on UP's roster, UP 7799 was the last ES44AC delivered to Union Pacific in 2007. It came out of the General Electric shops in Erie, PA in October 2007. The unit is on tap to run as the power on the MDVSI-02 later in the evening.

These two steam engines - buried in UP's 36th Street Yard - have had quite a trip from Oregon to Denver. They are ultimately headed for the San Louis & Rio Grande in Alamosa. The SLRG will use them on their tourist (passenger) trains. The steam engines original came to Denver via the Moffat, but got held at Winter Park because of clearance problems through the tunnel. So, they went back to Salt Lake and around through Wyoming. Here they sit, waiting to be moved over to North Yard and placed on the MNYPU.

The MDVSI-09, which has an SD40T-2 in the consist, pulls east past a GP38-2 and an SD70M. The manifest is built in the yard and then shoved back toward Union Station so the power can be put on. Then, once it has permission from the yardmaster, the train pulls out of the yard toward the Limon Sub to head east to Salina, KS.

With its train built and ready to roll, the MDVSI-09 starts pulling toward the Limon Subdivision. An SD70M leads up a C40-9 (standard cab!) and a former Espee SD40T-2. This is the only (regular) daily manifest that runs on the Limon Subdivision.

Even though there is quite a lot of clutter in this shot, I had to take it. It reminds me of a mama duck moving along with its ducklings following. This SD40T-2 leads up three "baby tunnel motors"; GP15-1s.

There is something about black and white on a cold, snowy day that just seems appropriate! Large snow flakes fall in front of the camera while this former Espee Tunnel Motor poses for a shot. You can clearly see that UP 2937 started life (on UP's roster) as UP 4589. The GP40-2 to the right - UP 1364 - started life as a Rio Grande unit!

It is always worth taking a picture of a Tunnel Motor. Doesn't matter what the conditions of the weather are or even if there are things in the way of the shot! This particular T-2 comes to UP from Espee. UP 2937 started life as SP 8264. It briefly held the number UP 4589 before making room for the SD70Ms.

I'll wager that this unit (and others like it) won't be around on UP's roster long after this shot. This B40-8 (yep, a 4-axle unit) is actually of Espee heritage, delivered in 1987 as SP 8022. It was also delivered as a B39-8, but UP changed the designation in 1999. I suspect these units will follow the path of their "U-Boat" ancestors before long.

After coming into town on a southbound train, the power cut away from the train and headed toward Union Station to wye the power. After completing the move, this power is headed back toward the yard office at 36th Street. Coors Field is in the background to the left.

It's been years since I last recalling seeing class lights illuminated on a unit, but UP 1344 just happened to have (white) class lights fired up while sitting in the yard at UP's 36th Street in Denver. It was nearly two years ago (Dec 17, 2005) that DRGW 3121 was patched and changed to UP 1344.
