Even though only two of the eight units in this shot are actually on, it still isn't very often you see so many units on a train these days! The six 40-series units being towed are: WP 7888, UP 3167, UP 9872, UP 8860, UP 3144 and WP 7901. (Incidentally, UP uses "WP" on units that are scheduled for retirement -- it does not represent a unit that was once on the Western Pacific roster!)

Looks like a whole lot of power for not much train. In reality, the first two units (an ES44AC and an SD70M) are the only two even on, let alone loading. The six 40-series units trailing may well be headed for a torch. They've all been stored in a "dead line" at Burnham for the past six months. By comparison, UP 7814 is one of the newest units on UP's roster, having been delivered on March 8, 2008 - just over one month before this shot was taken!

15 years ago and this train would probably not be visible at its current location as it would be in a tunnel underneath a runway! Prior to the construction of Denver International Airport, Stapleton International Airport had north/south runways that went right over the tracks here. Today, the MDVSI-13 is starting its trek east across the plains.

After completing its switching work at Roydale, the LDJ03 is headed back toward 36th Street. The train is moving at restricted speed as it is following a coal empty into the yard using a box 4 and a box 11 on its track warrant. The local is passing the switching yard at Monaco Street. GMTX 2678 is a leaser of Baltimore & Ohio heritage.
