Yard Shots BNSF
Not long ago, Burlington Northern used SD9's to switch (or in local service) in almost every yard in the country (or so it seemed). Today, finding an SD9 is rather rare. This BNSF SD9 was switching in BNSF's 38th street yard on a beautiful Sunday morning.

Limon (UP) Union Pacific
Back when the Rock Island was still in existance, the railroad had trackage rights on the UP from Limon, CO to Sandown Junction, just east of Denver. From there, The Rock would takes its own tracks to the Belt Line to interchange with the Rio Grande in North Yard. Today, all that remains of Sandown Junction is this sign just east of Ulster Street along the KP main. However, it is rumored that the line from the Belt to Sandown will rise again to carry coal traffic!

MP 634 is near the location of what was once Stapleton International Airport. This coal empty is working its way west on the last four miles of its track warrant. It will wind up on "Bypass One" and cut Pecos Street near North Yard.

Pecos Street will soon run under the tracks here near Utah Junction so traffic is not stopped for tens of minutes (or more) at a time while coal trains cut the crossing. UP 8120 is on Bypass One and will cut the crossing before tying the train down.

The "Beer Run", which runs between Denver and the Coors Factory in Golden, has some interesting power on it right now. First up is this GP60M, with a small "BNSF" patch on the nose.

There are two "Beer Runs" each day for a total of four trains (two out of Golden, two into Golden). Today, the first beer run is holding west of Tennyson Street. The train is waiting for the MNYPH, which is about to leave C&S Jct. The hoppers to the right are sitting on the relatively new "Arvada Siding".
