The Circus Train is in town! Well...passing through town anyway. It is actually headed for Colorado Springs via the Joint Line. A pair of BNSF units brought the train across Nebraska and down the Brush Sub earlier in the day.

A shot of the tail end of the passenger cars on the Red Circus Train as it comes down the last part of the Brush Sub to enter BNSF's Yard. Looks like some of the performers are enjoying the summer afternoon.

The longest passenger train in the United States heads into BNSF's 31st Street Yard. Once there, the train will stop for about 90 minutes to recrew and add a third unit to the consist for the trip over the Palmer Divide.

After making a slightly tardy station stop, the eastbound Zephyr pulls down the Passenger Lead to continue east for Chicago. You can see Coors Field in the background, home of the best Major League baseball team this past April and worst Major League baseball team this past May...

At the very start of the Joint Line (20th Street), the Circus Train heads south on Main 2 with the addition of an SD70MAC. This is the first time I've ever shot 20th Street from the north side of the tracks.

Unfortunately, it was well after sunset when the Circus Train finally departed south out of Denver. The last shot I was able to get was a times shot of the train on Main 2 at Kalamath Street, about 2 1/2 miles south of town.
