Here, the front half of the train has been pulled forward beyond the signals of the Pecos Crossover. Now, hostlers from North Yard have a low yellow (diverging approach) signal and will crossover from Main 2 to Main 3 and take the power to the yard for servicing. In the distance, the Pecos Street overpass is nearing completion! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

North Yard hostlers have cut out the mid-train helpers from this coal load on Main 2. The light power will be taken back to North Yard for servicing before likely returning west for additional helper service. Meanwhile, the crew from the coal train will back the front half of the coal train back to the rear half and hook it back up. The next crew will then take the coal train east on the plains with two units on the point and one on the tail end. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

With Union Pacific diligently installing a new main track between C&S Junction and Arvada, one of the key components is, of course, ballast! This train will dump some of the ballast needed for Main 2. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
