A relatively new SD70AH is third out on this days MNYNP (Manifest, North Yard to North Platte). The SD70AH weighs 7,000 pounds more than a standard SD70ACe. The "H" in SD70AH represents "Heavy". UP ordered these units (with their extra steel) to put down more weight on the rails and increase their tractive effort.

Belt Industrial Lead (UP) Kansas City Southern
I always enjoy running across a Kansas City Southern unit. I think it may be due to the fact that KCS has managed to endure through all of the mega-mergers of the last 20 years. While railroads like SP, CNW, and Conrail have fallen, KCS has persisted.

A quartet of units, including a borrowed Kansas City Southern AC4400CW, lead up the daily MNYNP. This train departs out of North Yard in Denver and run to North Platte, NE. This manifest (and its counterpart), are typically the longest manifests that UP runs in to and out of Denver. In this shot, the train is approach UP Junction at the east end of the Belt Industrial Lead. The train will swing north and join with the Greeley Subdivision for the first leg of the journey north to Cheyenne, WY.

The east end of the Belt Main Line begins at UP Jct (DS 902). Back in the days of the Rio Grande, the Belt Line was a four mile connection between Rio Grande and Union Pacific. Today, it still used as a connection for UP to get between North Yard and 36th Street Yard, or North Yard and the Greeley Subdivision. In this shot, the train is passes underneath BNSF's Brush Sub and is about to pass underneath Brighton Blvd near York Street.
