The Denver skyline...particularly the "cash register building"...seemed like a very fitting background. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It used to be served by a transfer table in the pit in the foreground. However, the transfer table was auctioned off along with the rest of the equipment at Burnham after it was closed.

Photo ID: 107248 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, February 17, 2018 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Burnham Shops Denver, CO 1484 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific, Rio Grande Hard to believe that it has already been two years since Burnham closed it doors for good. Virtually all the rail has been removed at this point in 2018. In addition, a lot of asbestos removal has taken place. The turntable and the transfer table have both be auctioned off. No doubt it won't be much longer that the buildings themselves will come down. In a few more years, this will probably be a but of condos!

Seems entirely appropriate that a Rio Grande GP30 would be the final unit to leave the close yard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
