A pair of light UP units departs northbound on Main 2 from the north Burnham Lead at Walnut Street. The north lead may not be around much longer as RTD's FasTracks project may result in the lead being removed.

Four GE units and a single GP40M-2 head back toward North Yard from Burnham. I thought it was interesting that the doors on the long hood on UP 1526 were open after leaving Burnham! The unit (ex-SSW 7291) was definitely online.
On August 1, 2003, I shot this very same unit when it was still in full, unpatched gray! It was working on the Montrose Local on that particular day.
A BNSF southbound without a BNSF unit in sight. Heck, there's not even a unit from a western railroad in sight! BNSF's Denver, CO to Amarillo, TX is making good time on the approach to Castle Rock.

The sun is playing hide and seek behind the clouds as BNSF's Denver, CO to Amarillo, TX manifest comes around the curve south of Castle Rock. The train had some interesting power with a pair of Norfolk Southern units on the point. The second unit was (obviously) Conrail, but is now on Norfolk Southern's roster!

A southbound "Earthworm" is heading south along I-25 just south of Castle Rock. I caught two trains on the Joint Line on this day and, to my amazement, neither was a coal train! Crazy how much Castle Rock has grown in the past decade.

The symmetry of a Unit Grain train is one of the things that makes it a lot of fun to shoot! With the sun finally coming out from behind the clouds, this grain empty passes south past milepost 35.40 on Main 1.
