A southbound BNSF manifest (Denver, CO to Amarillo, TX) has some unique power with a KCS Belle and NS "Catfish" elephant style on the head end. The train is currently waiting on Main 1 to Walnut for a green signal to continue south.

A northbound coal empty with a single ES44AC on the point is tied down on Main 2 at South Denver. With this being the Memorial Day holiday weekend, it could be quite awhile before a crew is ready to take it. Note Pikes Peak standing tall in the distance.

KCS 4884 is leading a southbound BNSF manifest through the OS at South Denver. When heading south, the tracks go from two main tracks to three main tracks. The manifest is no changing tracks, but is moving from Main 2 to Main 3.

A southbound manifest crosses over Mississippi Avenue at South Denver. This is the former location of the Gates Rubber plant, which has since been torn down and new apartments are now being built in the area. You can see the pedestrian overpass in the distance that crosses all three main track and both RTD light rail tracks.

Two trains meeting at a signal bridge! Alas, the shot is not quite as lucky as it might seem. Neither train actually has a crew onboard! KCS 4884, a southbound Denver, CO to Amarillo, TX manifest is tied down on Main 3. A northbound BNSF Slayton, TX to Denver, CO manifest is tied down on Main 2.

A northbound BNSF manifest sits tied down on Main 2 at an intermediate signal just north of Littleton. Indeed, the back of the train is in the Littleton Trench. This is Memorial Day Weekend, so many crews have likely signed up for vacation, meaning many trains will be tied down.

A southbound BNSF manifest, with two leased units on the point, just tied down here on Main 3. There are also four trains currently tied down on Main 2, meaning Main 1 is now the only open main track between Englewood and Littleton for both northbound and southbound trains.

We have a lot of tracks visible here at this intermediate between Englewood and Littleton. Closest to the camera is Main 3. The train, currently tied down with no crew, is on Main 2. These two mains are owned by BNSF. The next track over in Main 1, owned by Union Pacific (although BNSF dispatches all three main tracks). The next two tracks are RTD's Light Rail tracks. Lastly, a stub track for switching some industries off the mains are on the far side.
