This is the north end of UP's Boulder Industrial Lead (the Dent Branch). The line used to run all the way into Boulder from the east, but has since been severed. UP is currently using the north end for surplus covered hopper storage. The tracks have been paved over on County Road 6, which I am standing on to get this shot.

After a great run (in both directions) another year of the Cheyenne Frontier Days Steam Train is in the books. Black and white felt right for this shot as the train back over Broadway and past Coors Field, into Union Station.

There was a time between 30 and 40 years ago when this general area saw many eight-axle diesel locomotives! UP 6936 sits on the Broadway overpass. Back when DDA40X's were (relatively) common, Broadway came to town via a viaduct running over the tracks.

Yard Shots Ski Train
The Ski Train's sitting on the transfer track between UP's 36th Street Yard and BNSF's 38th Street Yard. This is the first time I've personally seen the train take this route to wye. The train held here, waiting for permission from BNSF, until long after I had to hit the road!

Need a light? It is well after sunset as a fresh UP crew ("fresh" meaning a different crew from the one that took the train to Winter Park) works to wye the train so it is prepared for its next run. You can see the route it is taking from the alignment of the switches!

In the past, the Ski Train has used the Passenger Lead and the Buck to perform its wye move and turn around. This time, the Ski Train backed down the inbound lead toward 36th Street. An interesting shot of the train with Coors Field in the distance.

UP 844 and the train for the Democratic National Convention have almost completed their trip into Denver. The train is slowly backing toward track three at the station. Coors Field, home of the 2007 National League Champion Colorado Rockies, stands tall in the background.

UP 7843 is one of two ES44ACs that make up the "supporting cast" for UP 844's trip to Denver for the Democratic National Convention. The GEVO is just six days shy of celebrating its five month birthday! By comparison, UP 844 is getting close to its 64th birthday. It was built in December 1944.

UP 7710 is one of two ES44ACs that make up the "supporting cast" for UP 844's trip to Denver for the Democratic National Convention. This is a particularly patriotic unit, having been delivered to UP on July 4, 2007.
