The westbound California Zephyr with ATMK 79 on the point heads west on a clear signal at the Pecos Street Crossover. With Amtrak actually running just about on time, the sun was still rather low in the eastern sky!

Passengers aboard Amtrak 5 enjoy the view (well, for what it is worth at this particular location!) from the Lounge car as the train heads west on Main 3 toward C&S Junction and the far-more-scenic Moffat Tunnel Sub.

Once a day, UP runs a transfer train between BNSF's 31st Street Yard and UP's 36th Street Yard. On this morning, UP 1344 and UP 1480 were in charge of moving the cars from 31st Street to 36th Street.

A couple of extra P42DC's hang out on Track Three at Union Station. Amtrak typically keeps one spare P42DC on hand at Union Station (as was the case on this day, off the picture to the left), but these two were just idling away.

The westbound Beer Run makes its way down the grade into Coors North Yard alongside 44th Avenue. On this particular day, the inbound Beer Run was comprised entirely of loaded coal hoppers. This is the first time I can specifically remember seeing an SD60 on the Golden Sub.

The Golden Switcher works in the North Yard of Coors, moving between yard tracks and crossing 44th Avenue. Interesting choice for a yard switcher, BNSF 8710 is a GP60 - my favorite geep since the GP30!
