Or, at a minimum, was recently repainted. The "Dark Future" on this CSX unit looks darn near pristine as the fourth unit on the BNSF Laurel, MT to Denver, CO manifest.

Photo ID: 114022 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, June 14, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS901 (Stock Yards) Denver, CO 80 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Belt Industrial Lead (UP) Union Pacific Denver is one of the largest metropolitan area in the United States that is not located near a fairly significant waterway (major river or lake). The South Platte River does run through Denver. However, as you can see in this shot with UP 7434 crossing the South Platte, it is not exactly the Mississippi River! Three units lead UP's MNYGR across the river on the Belt Industrial Lead. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 114021 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, June 14, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS901 (Stock Yards) Denver, CO 96 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Belt Industrial Lead (UP) Union Pacific UP's daily MNYGR (Manifest, North Yard, CO to Green River, WY) is beginning its journey as it passes through the control point at the Stock Yards. The track to the right leads to Xcel Energy's Cherokee Power Plant. For decades, the power plant was powered by coal from mines in the Colorado high country. Today, the plant is powered by natural gas, so the track is no longer used. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I'm not sure why two extra sightseer lounge cars were on the train this morning, but it made for a bit of a unique shot. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 114018 Date Shot Photo By Friday, June 12, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Rennicks Yard Denver, CO 67 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF East of Rennicks Yard, there are roughly a dozen or so companies that ship and/or receive via rail. BNSF has a switch job that works six days a week switching cars out for the industries. Currently, a pair of GP39-2s have the task. The units are remote control enabled, so a single crewman is capable of throw switching and uncoupling cars, while controlling the units from his remote pack.

Among other things in the yard is a military train on Track 1. I presume the train originated from Fort Carson near Colorado Springs. Not sure where the equipment is headed.

BNSF 1656 is still wearing cascade green and has its nose stripes as it leads an eastbound local between Fox and Sand Creek.
