Photo ID: 113751 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, April 22, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Broadway to Stock Yards Denver, CO 4 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Belt Industrial Lead (UP) Union Pacific The Belt Industrial Lead, which is only four miles long, is often time a bit of a bottleneck in the Denver area. It connects North Yard to 36th Street Yard, the Limon Sub, and the Greeley Sub. The line also has numerous switches and industries that are regularly switched by a yard job. Since it is a single track main, one train can stop several others. At the moment, this MNYGR is slowing to a stop to pick up its DPU, way back in North Yard.

Photo ID: 113752 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, April 22, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Broadway to Stock Yards Denver, CO 6 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Belt Industrial Lead (UP) Union Pacific So close and yet so far away! UP 1996 and three other units lead Union Pacific's MNYGR. The train is currently picking up its DPU back in north yard. A utility crew is getting its air hose, etc hooked up. If the train were three or four cars shorter, Washington Street would have been cleared. Alas, traffic is going to have to wait a bit longer. While most motorists are probably not railfans, perhaps a few note the uniquely painted Espee heritage unit leading the train!
