A pair of BNSF GEs bring up the tail end of a westbound coal load. The DPUs are crossing over the former Rock Island line that led to North Yard. The line is now owned by the Denver Rock Island, a short line that operates a few miles of track in the Denver area. Also note the newest looking bridge in the distance. This bridge is indeed quite new, carrying RTD's N-Line commuter rail traffic from Denver Union Station out to the suburb of Thornton.

Sand Creek is an interesting and somewhat busy spot train spot in Denver. BNSF's Brush Sub and UP's Greeley Sub cross (at grade) here, and there are quite a few industries that get switched out by both railroads. A BNSF coal load, led by BNSF 6017, passes by the grain elevator on the BNSF side. The white hopper cars (and beyond) on the other side of the elevator are all under UP's control.

BNSF's Denver, CO to Edgemont, SD manifest is approaching the diamond at Sand Creek with some really nice power on the point. BNSF's Brush Sub (the track the train is on) and UP's Greeley Sub) track in the foreground) intersect here. On days when the California Zephyr detours through Wyoming, it arrives in Denver in mornings on the Brush Sub heading left (in this shot) and the departs Denver on the Greeley Sub heading right.
