The train has made a round trip between Denver and Cheyenne. The day before, UP 1996 was assigned to a work train that ran on the Moffat and laid ballast around Big Ten Curve. The ballast train returned to Denver, and UP 1996 (and two other units) were removed from the train, left here on Yard Track 1.

Photo ID: 113727 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, April 21, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 19 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific Nearly a week ago, on April 15, 2026 (Tax Day), Union Pacific eliminated the role of Yardmaster here at North Yard. The five Yardmasters on the payroll were offered transfers to other locations to enter train service (conductors, engineers, etc). There is now some sort of Yard Manager, different from an actual Yardmaster, in control of the yard. Reports from folks I know that work for Union Pacific are indicating that North Yard is a complete mess at the moment. Indeed, the yard does look must fuller than it has in quite awhile.

It then crossed over from Main 3 to Bypass 2 and started a reverse move. The switch job is now backing down Bypass 2, headed for the Belt Industrial Lead. There are numerous industries on the Belt Line that the yard job will switch out. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
