A colorful Stockton to Denver (MSTODEN) comes down Main 3 on the approach to the Pecos Crossover. At Utah Junction, the train will stop and meet Amtrak 5. Amtrak will take the North Yard siding from Utah Junction west to C&S Junction. Then, this train will head down the main to Fox Junction and cross over to its own tracks.

Amtrak had been having some power issues between Chicago and Denver. So, in Denver, a third P42DC (which is kept in Denver as a spare for just such situations) was added to the train. The Zephyr is coming around on the North Yard siding on the approach to Pecos Street and the Pecos Crossover.

Yard Shots BNSF
From the Park Avenue overpass, you can see quite a bit of action going on below you at the 23rd Street diamond. BNSF trains headed to or from the Joint Line cross the diamond (on one of the two main tracks). The Buck Main crosses the north end of the Joint Line, connection Union Station with Prospect Junction (and beyond). BNSF also uses the Buck Main to wye power. Such was the case here as two SD40-2s are being wyed so they can be taken to the "house".

A UP yard crew move a set of well cars from UP's North Yard to UP's 36th Street. The fastest way to do this was via Prospect Junction and Union Station. From Union Station, the crew can shove the cars down to 36th Street. Here, the crew was take the wells cars across the diamond at 23rd Street on the Buck Main.

Approaching the west switch of Irondale, KCS 4008 leads BNSF's Denver to Galesburg, IL (HDENGAL1-15A) out of town with a sizable train! KCS 4008 came off the Moffat the day before on BNSF's Stockton to Denver trackage rights train. That third unit out is actually a DIC SW1500 in BNSF's New Image paint scheme.

For several weeks, this New Image SW1500 was working out of BNSF's 31st Street on various switch jobs. Looks like its time in Denver is up as the switcher was the third unit (and DIC - Dead In Consist), headed for Galesburg, IL.

After meeting a coal empty and the HDENGAL (Denver to Galesburg, IL) manifest, it is this coal loads turn to pull out of the siding at Irondale and head into town. Once in Denver, the crew on this train will be relieved and another crew will take it south on the Joint Line.
