Since a single railroad can't always get freight to or from a customer, cars are regularly interchanged between railroads so they can get where they're going! At Fox Junction, BNSF is delivering a string of cars from BNSF's 31st Street Yard to UP's North Yard.

This is only the second SD70M-2 that I've seen up to the date of the photo. A bit of a rare sight in Denver, a Norfolk Southern unit passes through town on BNSF's Provo to Denver manifest.

At the far south end of North Yard (in Denver), you'll find Fox Junction. Here, UP has two main tracks that head south. One heads for the Joint Line and the other collides with BNSF tracks at Prospect Junction and lead to Union Station. I have always liked the dwarf signals found here at Fox Junction, this particular signal found on the UP Outbound Track.

UP 1989 is the third unit (of three) on the northbound MPUNY. The train, is arriving very late (by its standards), coming into the North Yard at 2:30pm. Normally, the train is in the yard by 4am!

After completing a long run from Pueblo to North Yard, the MPUNY-13 (with UP 1989 as the third unit) arrives at the south end of North Yard just before 2:30pm. The train was held at Monument (just south of Palmer Lake) for about 5 1/2 hours, form 6am to 11:30am.

BNSF's Denver to Laurel manifest diverges at Fox Junction, going from UP Main Two to the BNSF New North Main. Note the unique number boards on BNSF 4039.
