Photo ID: 101510 Date Shot Photo By Monday, August 13, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Colorado Blvd Denver, CO 1686 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF Just west of Colorado Blvd, BNSF tracks cross over former Denver Rock Island (now Union Pacific) tracks. The line above originates to the north (right) at Sand Creek off BNSF's Brush Sub. It is an industrial lead track that services several industries northeast of I-70 and Colorado Blvd. The lower track was once the CRIP's (Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific) line into town to connect with the Rio Grande's Belt Line. In the future, Union Pacific has plans to add a second track and send coal traffic to the Limon Sub via the CRIP! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A GP30 followed by a DD35B followed by an SD24, or some such lashup. Today, unique power is harder to come by. However, this GP40-2/GP60/GP38-2/GP38-2 lashup isn't too bad! UP's Roydale Local is getting ready for a full day of switching. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
