An eastbound BNSF (empty) grain train slowly descends down from Big Ten Loop toward a red signal at the west switch of Rocky. UP's dispatcher is waiting to hear from the BNSF yard master as to whether or not they can take the train. If the wait will be too long, the train can be lined in to the siding at Rocky. As it turns out, the wait was not long, and the empty received a clear signal after just a few minutes.

A pair of ES44C4s lead an empty eastbound grain train at Kipling Street, just about 10 miles west of Union Station. The Denver-Metro area is low enough in elevation that some trees are still holding on to at least some of their leaves!

A BNSF manifest, headed for Provo, UT, is not even 15 miles west of the yard in Denver at the start of its trip. Although the sun is now setting early in the afternoon, the low southern light makes for some pretty great shots.

Elephant-style GEs, consisting of an ES44DC, an ET44C4, and a C44-9W lead a 93-car manifest west out of Denver. The three GEs up front are being helped by another two pushing on the tail end over an mile to the east.
