Yard Shots BNSF
After a quick crew change at the BNSF yard office a few blocks to the northeast, this westbound coal train is ready to continue toward Denver. The train had been a southbound on the Angora Sub, but has now switched to a westbound for the journey on the Brush Sub. The train is passing UP's yard office.

UP has a very minor presence in Sterling. They have a small, one-room yard office and (at this time) a single GP38-2 for switching. UP serves a few industries in Sterling, the cars for which are handled by a weekly local out of Julesburg, CO.

This southbound is coming off the south end of the BNSF Angora Sub and is entering Restricted Limits at Sterling, leaving CTC bhind. The track way off to the far right is UP's track which runs to Julesburg, CO and the Overland Route. That track only sees about a train a week, when a local runs from Julesburg to Sterling and back.

Idling quietly in the Sterling Yard was this GP40X! This was a real treat as there are only four such units left on BNSF's roster. This was the only 4-axle unit to receive slanted radiators, similar to the SD45. Click the "Hear It!" link below for a brief snippet of sound.
