The westbound Zephyr creates a nice silhouette against the morning sun at Barr Lake. The train is running about 1 hour and 15 minutes behind schedule this morning.

Minutes before sunset, two DPUs bring up an eastbound coal empty past the gentle waters of Barr Lake east of Denver on the Brush Sub.

Following not too far behind the eastbound Zephyr, this coal empty is moving at track speed, as you can deduce from the slight blur of the lead engine! A few people are enjoying a quite June evening in a boat on Barr Lake in the distance.

For much of the year, the eastbound Zephyr departs Denver after dark. However, in the summer months, there is still a bit of light when it heads east. Here, just days before the official start of summer, the Chicago-bound train is right on time as it passes by Barr Lake, about 18 miles east of Denver Union Station.

The Hudson Turn slows to a crawl as it approaches the CO-2 overpass west of Barr. There is a coal load holding the main east of Irondale (the next siding to the west) and, as a result, the local here is approaching a red intermediate, the tail end of the coal load just on the opposite side.

Being an "EMD guy", I really love how reliable old EMDs prove themselves to be. Railroads continue to rebuild and use EMD power that is 40+ years old! Here, the Hudson Turn sports two GP38-2. The first unit receive a repaint after its last rebuild, and sports the New Image scheme. The second units still wears the original Heritage scheme. While subtle, this shot clearly shots that the Heritage scheme did indeed use a very dark green, whereas the New Image scheme just uses black.

Between the sidings of Irondale and Barr, CO-2 crosses over the tracks. The bridge offers a pretty good view of westbounds. Such is the case with this shot of the westbound Hudson Turn. The train entirely consists of tank cars and covered hoppers, and is blocked accordingly.

A BNSF local is heading toward the Oil Refinery plant in Commerce City. The train is being led by a nicely painted GP38 and a GP40M.
