The screaming eagle leads an eastbound coal load underneath the RTD A-Line that connects Union Station in downtown Denver with Denver International Airport. This coal train loaded at the West Elk Mine on the North Fork Branch two days ago. Fortunately, the engineer setting up the power in Grand Junction set up 1982 to lead east.

UP 1982, the Missouri Pacific heritage unit, leads an eastbound coal load as the train crosses underneath the RTD "A-Line" commuter rail that connects Union Station to Denver International Airport. The train is approaching the grade crossing at Airport Blvd.

An eastbound coal load on the Limon Sub just west of the siding of Mesa. A special visitor just happens to be on the point on this day, too!

An RTD A-Line train crosses over UP's Limon Sub just east of Mesa. This single track bridge is close to a mile long and takes the A-Line from along Smith Road and the Limon Sub over the tracks and over I-70 in order to parallel Pena Blvd to DIA. This particular commuter train is headed west, toward Union Station.

Missed it by that much! Was hoping to get a shot of an A-Line commuter train crossing over a UP special with a quartet of electric engines. Alas, the A-Line train came by about 20 seconds too late.

Three Siemens-built SC-44 are being transported by Union Pacific from California to their interhchange point...probably either Kansas City or St Louis. These units are going to enter commuter service on MARC.

This is a Siemens-built ACS-64 built for a Pennsylvania-based commuter (Septa). This is the first of 15 such units that have been ordered by Septa and are pending delivery from Siemens.

A pair of UP SD70Ms are pulling four electric units that will be used on commuter rail. The units were built by Siemens and are headed for Pennsylvania. RTD's "A Line", which runs from Union Station to Denver International Airport, follows UP's Limon Sub for much of the run. Here, just west of Airport Blvd, the A-Line ascends and crosses over the Limon Sub. If only a commuter train has passed over right at this moment!

You may not see it at first, but there are actually two trains in this shot. The first is the Roydale Local, led by a pair of GP38-2s. The second is a UP special that is transporting four Siemens electric units. The special is holding at a red signal until the local can get in the clear at Mesa.
