The Provo-Denver rounds the bend coming around to the approach to the west switch of Eisele (Clay). If you look, you can just see the first of two DPUs coming out from behind the cut at the bottom of Coal Creek Canyon.

An ES44AC, ET44C4, and ES44DC lead the Provo-Denver around Big Ten Loop. I actually shot this exact same consist two days ago when it was heading west toward Provo on the Denver-Provo. It had a quick turn around time in Provo!

As the head end of the Provo-Denver descends down Big Ten Loop toward the west switch of Rocky, the crew can look straight out at their tail end DPU as it comes out of the Eisele (Clay).

As the head end power makes its way through Little Ten Curve near the west end of Rocky, a pair of DPUs (including a KCS ES44AC) makes its way around Big Ten Curve.

Two days earlier, I saw these exactly same units as DPUs on the Denver-Provo. I shot them at Glenwood and then again at Grand Valley in Parachute. The got to Provo overnight and then departed back east on the Provo-Denver a little later in the day.

At the east switch of Leyden, BNSF's Provo-Denver continues east after knocking down an Advanced Approach (flashing yellow) signal. The train will diverge from the Main to Main 2 at Arvada. BNSF 3941 is a Tier-4 compliant ET44C4.

It is not too terribly common to find a single unit leading any train. However, that was exactly the case today as an ES44AC leads a long baretable train down the Front Range Sub toward Denver. The train just got permission from the yard to continue past 80th Avenue, a common holding place if the yard cannot take trains.

Interestingly, I happened to get a shot of this exact unit less than three weeks earlier, leading the Provo-Denver over the Moffat!

After letting a BNSF baretable train through Utah Junction on the BNSF main, UP DS-86 lined this windmill train in to North Yard off the Belt Industrial Lead. The train loaded at the Vestas Plant in Brighton. The pair of SD70ACes look good on the point!

The mercury hits triple digits (101°F) on a very hot summer day as a North Yard remote job switches cars in the storage yard. In the background, a train carrying wind nacelles enters in to the yard from the Belt Industrial lead, crossing BNSF's North Main and UP's own Moffat Tunnel Sub Main.

A pair of SD70ACes lead a Vestas wind train off the Belt Industrial Lead and in to North Yard. The train will actually be turned over to BNSF and will continue south on the Joint Line toward Texas.

There is barely a cloud in the sky on a July day that saw triple digit heat in the Denver Metro area. The Colorado Springs Utility coal train sits on Yard Track 1, awaiting for a crew. Once it gets a crew, it will depart on the Belt Industrial Lead and head to the Greeley Sub and north to the Powder River Basin.
