BNSF has a track that connects the north end of Rennicks to the north end of 38th Street. Before today, I had never seen the track used (although I'm sure it is used regularly). The track runs on the south side of 48th Street under I-25, around the north end of a park, then across Washington Street and the Platte River and into the yard. Here, a transfer holds near National Western Drive at a red flag, waiting for authority to come into the yard.

With a nose only a mother could love, this SD70ACe is moving backward, pushing the ZLADV back into the intermodal facility at 36th Street. Since the SD70ACe is more like its sibling the SD70MAC inside (even though it looks more like is cousing, the SD90MAC on the outside), hopefully this unit will be around for many years to come.

Comprised of a string of doublestacks, some of the newest power on the road work to shove the train back into the intermodal facility at 36th Street. A former Missouri Pacific GP38-2 sits idling away as the intermodal train moves past it.

The westbound California Zephyr encountered a major delay in eastern Colorado due to a BNSF derailment at Hudson, CO. Shortly after noon, number 5 finally got the okay to pass through the site at walking speed. Here, the train is approaching the east switch of Hudson at 10 MPH.

The westbound California Zephyr stops at a red signal at the east end of Hudson. Normally, the train would pass this location sometime around 6:30am! Today, though, it is almost 12:30pm, due to a derailment at this same switch (note the maintenance crews). The Brush Sub Dispatcher would talk Amtrak past the signal and it would continue unhindered the rest of the way into Denver.

A rare opportunity to get the westbound California Zephyr in really great light on the Brush Sub presented itself on this day. A derailment earlier in the day stopped Amtrak for about six hours! Here, the train is moving at track speed (around 79 MPH) past the west switch of Tonville.

Finally making it to Denver (after being delayed six hours due to a BNSF derailment), the westbound California Zephyr comes around the wye at 23rd Street. Once on the Buck Main, the train will back into Union Station.

Having just backed up over the diamond at 23rd Street, the California Zephyr is just minutes away from its station stop in Denver. The sun, however, is in the western sky at this point as Amtrak is running about six hours late due to a BNSF derailment on the Brush Subdivision.
