From the 4th Street overpass in Pueblo, you can get a good view of either the UP (ex-DRGW) yard or the BNSF (ex-ATSF) yard. This shot shows the former Santa Fe Yard with a coal load slowly passing by on the main track. UP's yard is to the left on the other side of the road.

The Colorado State Fair special back town toward the UP yard to clear up off the tracks for freight. In the distance, light BNSF power prepares to head toward Bragdon to pick up an empty coal train tied down on the Bragdon Siding.
