The train briefly held in the siding at Rocky as BNSF's yard in Denver figured out if they had room for the train. DS-78 told the train they would move up to Tennyson Street (west of C&S Junction) and possibly tied down there. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 110348 Date Shot Photo By Monday, April 8, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS004 (Pecos X-Over) Denver, CO 122 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak AMTK 126 approaches the signal bridge at Pecos Street, running on the North Yard Siding. You may notice that there does not appear to be a signal over the North Yard siding. That is indeed correct. There are CTC crossovers from Main 3 to Main 2 to Main 1 at Pecos. But there is no CTC-controlled crossover from the siding to Main 3, so this is not a control point on the siding. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The manifest arrived earlier in the day from the Greeley Sub. It came across Main 2 and, now that the Zephyr is clear, will back in to North Yard.

Indeed, one of the only SD70ACe-T4s that actually exists in the United States. To say the EPA Tier-4 units are unpopular with North American railroads would be an understatement. Railroads are, instead, choosing to invest in rebuilding older power rather than buy these newer, more complex, and more expensive units. UP 3032 is working on backing the train in to North Yard.

Photo ID: 110351 Date Shot Photo By Monday, April 8, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS004 (Pecos X-Over) Denver, CO 93 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific Here is a scene that looks substantially different than it did 30 years ago. Back then, the two tracks on the left did not exist at all. They were added in the early 2000s to accommodate the huge number of coal trains that ran on the Moffat back then. Then, about 15 years ago, the bridge in the background was built to take Pecos Street up and over the tracks. Here, in 2024, a UP manifest backs away from the camera and in to North Yard.
