Photo ID: 105066 Date Shot Photo By Friday, March 13, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Union Station Denver, CO 1592 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Denver Union Terminal (RTD) Amtrak 30 years ago, there were numerous tracks leading in to and out of Union Station, including multiple dwarf signals. 20 years ago, those dwarf signals were gone, as were many of the tracks. Now, in 2015, many of the tracks have been added back in and dwarf signals are popping up again! This scene almost looks like it could pass for a scene from Chicago or the Northeast Corridor. Power for the Zephyr is back down Track 4 to hook on to the Zephyr. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 105069 Date Shot Photo By Friday, March 13, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Union Station Denver, CO 1471 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Denver Union Terminal (RTD) Amtrak A sight not often to be repeated! Two sets of Superliners on two separate tracks at Union Station. On Track 4 (closer to the station), the westbound California Zephyr waits for passengers to load before departing west. On Track 5 (further from the station), equipment for the (special runs) of the Ski Train sits, ready to go. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Note the Ice House in the background. Nearly every other structure visible in this shot was constructed within the last 2-5 years. One exception would be Coors Field, just visible in the distance, which is now 20 years old. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Seeing as SD70Ms are my personal favorite engine since the SD40-2, I always enjoy coming across them on the Moffat. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 105074 Date Shot Photo By Friday, March 13, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Arvada, CO 1407 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific All three mid-train swing helpers on this eastbound coal load, while GE, happen to all be different models. UP 7051 is a C44/60AC, UP 7470 is an ES44AC (which UP designates as a C45ACCTE), and UP 6382 is an AC4400CW. Once arriving in Denver, all three units will be set out prior to the coal train continuing east on the KP Line. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
