Most shots from Bragdon show southbounds coming off the double track on Main 1. I wanted to find a new perspective, so I found this shot of a northbound approaching Bragdon on Main 2. The diverging route in the picture is used when BNSF trains coming out of Pueblo need to cross over to Main 2, or on the rare occasion when BNSF trains run the "wrong way" on Main 2 from Crews and have to cross back over to the BNSF main into Pueblo. The train approaching a BNSF coal empty that is running on UP's main.

The Joint Line in Colorado between Union Pacific and BNSF officially ends (at its southern point) at Bragdon. Here, the BNSF track is the western track, leading to the BNSF yard in Pueblo. Likewise, the UP track is the eastern track, leading to their yard. Here, a BNSF manifest is on the main track (the siding of Bragdon in the foreground) as it heads for Pueblo.

Nearly 109 miles south of Denver Union Station, the Colorado State Fair Express passes the famous triple-signals at Bragdon. Bragdon is where track warrants end and CTC starts (for trains headed south). The special is staying on Main 1 which is BNSF owned and dispatched. The next track over is the Bragdon siding, also owned by BNSF. The last track to the right crosses trains over between Main 1 and Main 2.
