Yard Shots Union Pacific, Kansas City Southern
A Military Special came into Denver off the Limon Sub overnight. It crossed the Belt Main and entered the Main Track at CP DS002. After pulling down to Fox Junction, the crew on the train was ready to depart south on the Joint Line for Fort Carson. But BNSF wasn't ready for the train! With Amtrak coming, the train had to make a reverse move to get in the clear in the North Yard Siding. That worked out well for me as I got a shot of it backing down the main.

Kansas City Southern really hit a home run with the Retro-Belle scheme in my personal opinion. So it was really great seeing a matched pair of Belle's on a military special in Denver. As it turns out, this is the first ES44 Retro-Belle that I've seen!

20 years ago, who would have thought that one day you could find a pair of (very colorful) Kansas City Southern units leading a Union Pacific military special on the former DRGW mainline in North Yard!

Yard Shots Union Pacific
At first glance, it might seem as though there is nothing unusual in this shot. Just a group of units hanging out at the ready tracks in North Yard. However, upon closer inspection, note the unit on the left side of the shot. That is a former Espee GP40P-2. The steam generator has of course long since been removed, but the extended long hood and the angled radiators remain.

Back in April, the Zephyr came through Denver a couple times with AMTK 66 - the Phase II Heritage Unit - as the second unit on the train. However, it was nice to see the unit on the point of the Zephyr on this particular morning. The train is only a few minutes late as it charges west out of Leyden.
