As I was on my home from work I heard a westbound leaving Denver so I went out to Chemical to setup for a shot. The overcast skies actually helped this evening as I was shooting from the shady side of the train! Note the Denver skyline direct above the second unit.

Running on time almost to the minute, Amtrak 6 passes the signal bridge at Pecos Street running on a clear signal on Main 3. Although most of the sky is overcast, there is enough of a gap to the west to allow for some nice silhouette lighting to sneak through.

Yard Shots Amtrak
With the light fading fairly fast in the western sky, black and white seemed appropriate for this shot. The eastbound Zephyr must borrow a part of BNSF's yard in order to back into Union Station on the Passenger Lead. Note the conductor from the head end walking to throw a switch.

Yard Shots Amtrak
A bit of light pokes through the clouds in the western sky at 7:35pm to light up the sides of a few of Denver's buildings as the eastbound Zephyr backs into Union Station on the passenger lead. It is 7:35pm...Amtrak would come to a stop at 7:43pm - precisely on time!

Brush (BNSF) Amtrak
The last hint of light is about to disappear in the western sky as Amtrak 6 comes creeping by on the Brush Sub after departing Denver. Unfortunately, a freight train that departed on the Brush Sub ahead of Amtrak got stuck at a red signal, delaying Amtrak about 10 minutes. had the delay not occurred, the sunset would have been a bit more spectacular!
