UP will do a great job of keeping the train running on clear signals and the train will be 9 minutes early by the time it reaches Reno, NV.

Photo ID: 105756 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, January 27, 2016 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Tennyson Street Denver, CO 1470 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific If you look in the distance on the right side of the frame, you'll see a trio of units on the move between the two halves of this coal load. Normally, the swing helpers on a coal train would be cut out at Pecos Street. However, on this day, a coal train was already sitting on Bypass 2, preventing the swing helpers from using the Pecos Street Crossover. So, the train had to stop at C&S Junction to set out the helpers. This was, no doubt, very frustrating for motorists on Lowell Blvd. The back half of the train blocked traffic while the units were set out.

Photo ID: 105755 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, January 27, 2016 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Tennyson Street Arvada, CO 1384 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific Five years ago, there were only two tracks here at the Tennyson Street grade crossing: UP's Main and the BNSF Spur to Golden. Now, however, there are five tracks at Tennyson Street. BNSF's Spur is on the far right. Then, moving left, we have UP Main 2 and UP Main 1. Off to the left of the frame are the two commuter rail tracks for RTD's Gold Line to Arvada, which is set to open in the fall of 2016. Here, the back end of a coal load sits on Main 1 as hostlers work to cutout the swing helpers at C&S Junction. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I actually got shots of this exactly same consist two days earlier, when it was headed west toward Provo! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 105675 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, December 31, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Tennyson Street Denver, CO 1400 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF It is just a few minutes before the sun crests the horizon on a frigid New Year's Eve as an eastbound BNSF manifest approaches Tennyson Street on Main 1. Behind the train and to the right of the frame, you can see a lot of infrastructure for the new RTD Gold Line commuter line, set to open in Fall of 2016. An interesting note is that this is the very last eastbound BNSF train that won't be crewed by a Grand Junction based crew. Starting January 1, 2016, BNSF eliminated the crew change point in Kremmling. Grand Junction crews now take BNSF trains from Grand Junction as far east as they can. It is actually probable that a BNSF train at this location will have a Denver based crew as a Grand Junction crew likely won't be able to reach Denver. So a Denver crew will "dog catch" the train somewhere west of town. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
