With this being the Memorial Day holiday weekend, it could be quite awhile before a crew is ready to take it. Note Pikes Peak standing tall in the distance.

Photo ID: 104544 Date Shot Photo By Monday, February 17, 2014 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed South Denver Denver, CO 1939 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Colorado Springs (UP)/Pikes Peak (BNSF) BNSF More often than not, South Denver is a pretty good place to find a few parked trains. When there is insufficient space in BNSF's Denver Yard and/or insufficient crews, northbounds coming off the Joint Line will frequently tie down on Main 2 or Main 3 along the triple track, starting at South Denver. They never tie down on Main 1. Granted at least one main needs to remain open, but it is always Main 1 because Main 1 is actually owned by UP. Main 2 and Main 3 are both owned by BNSF. Granted BNSF dispatches all three mains. BNSF also had trains tied down in the sidings at LoDo and Hogan's Alley. In this shot, a pair of coal empties sit on Main 2 (closest) and Main 3 (furthest) at South Denver, awaiting crews that will take them north. Main 1 lies empty in the foreground.

Granted there are only two units, but I'll take it. A C44-9W and an SD75M lead the Denver, CO to Pueblo, CO manifest. Here the train enters the "triple track" section of the Joint Line in south Denver. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This is the local where two main tracks go to triple track when heading south. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
