Not sure if it is just due the time of year, coming up on Christmas and New Year's, but North Yard is relatively empty at the moment! Most tracks are not anywhere near full, and several tracks are completely empty.

This UP coal load has come to a stop on Bypass 2 and the inbound crew is working to uncouple the front half of the coal load from the two mid-train DPUs. The outbound crew on the head end will pull the front of the train forward, clear of the Pecos Crossover.

Conductor from the inbound crew has just uncoupled UP 6448 from the back half of this coal load. The inbound crew will take the two DPUs into North Yard to the fuel tracks for servicing. The outbound crew will be responsible for putting the coal train back together before departing east.

After uncoupling from an eastbound coal load, these two mid-train DPUs have crossed over from Bypass 2 to Main 3 in order to make their way into the yard for servicing. You can see the front half of the train in the distance, clear of the OS, on Bypass 2.

As a pair of light units make their way toward Utah Jct to head into the yard, the front half of a coal load prepares to make a reverse move to connect with the back half of the train on the other side of Pecos Crossover. And, while that is happening, a northbound BNSF manifest is headed for the BNSF Front Range Sub as well!

The front half of a coal load backs through the OS at Pecos Crossover on Bypass 2. It is approaching the back half of its train, ready to connect up after cutting out mid-train DPUs.
