The westbound Beer Run has some pretty great power on it as it approaches Parfet Street in Arvada. This scene won't be possible in a year or two. The Beer Run is running on what will become one of the two main tracks of the Gold Line. You can see the second commuter track, covered with snow, to the right of the train.

Construction crews have started laying the second track for Gold Line. While the existing track has been open for awhile - and is being used by BNSF for the time being - the second track is not yet active.

On the last day of 2014, a crew takes the westbound Beer Train slowly toward Golden. The train is limited to 10 MPH through this section of track. There is a lot of construction happening here as part of the new commuter line (the Gold Line). Note the polls that will be part of the catenary once the Gold Line opens in 2016.

The westbound Beer Run rolls slowly west through the Gold Line construction zone. The train is currently using one of the tracks that will eventually be used for commuter trains. BNSF's track will be rebuilt roughly where the tire tracks in the snow are located.
