Photo ID: 113814 Date Shot Photo By Monday, May 4, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Rennicks Yard Denver, CO 41 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF Denver's rail intermodal scene is pretty small compared to markets like LA or Chicago. Rennicks Yard represents BNSF's entire intermodal presence in Denver. Granted, it is not an insignificant yard, seen here form the north end. A lot of JB Hunt (and other) trailers flow through here on a weekly basis. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The crew is short on time, having to make it to the yard by 3:30pm, just one hour from the time of this photo. Fortunately, the maintenance has clear and the train has a signal to proceed east. The crew assured DS-378 that they would have no issue making it to town within the hour. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

BNSF's Golden Switch, which works industries between Golden and C&S Junction during the week, has its power taken to the yard in Denver on Saturday for servicing. The power is then returned to Golden on Sundays. Looks like a pair of SD40-2s are the current power for the local. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 113783 Date Shot Photo By Friday, April 24, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Norfolk to Cheyenne Albany County, WY 47 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF Although today was devoted to chasing UP 4014 on its trip from Rawlins back to Cheyenne, you gotta take advantage of other shots as they present themselves! While the steam train was prepping to make a reverse move out of the frame to the left, BNSF's Denver-Laurel manifest passes underneath UP's Greeley Sub. Something on the train sparked a couple of small fires along the right-of-way, one of which you can see burning off in the distance.

BNSF's tracks cross UP's Belt Lead at Utah Junction, and the diamond is controlled by Union Pacific DS-378. So, the BNSF crew is at the mercy of UP's dispatcher to allow them to cross the diamond to continue their switching. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 113709 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 19, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Tolland to East Portal (MP 47.7 to MP 48.9) Gilpin County, CO 55 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF A westbound BNSF oil train is pulling on the main between Tolland and East Portal after leaving the siding at Tolland. The train took the siding at Rollins, then continued to the siding at Tolland, and is finally going to head through the Moffat Tunnel after meeting zero trains! DS-378 put the train in at Rollins, expecting to meet the Canyon Spirit there. However, the Spirit was having mechanical issues, so the train moved up to Tolland. With the Spirit still having issues, the oil train got the signal to head through the Moffat. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
