Photo ID: 113742 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, April 22, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS900 (Broadway) Denver, CO 65 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Belt Industrial Lead (UP) Union Pacific Manifests departing North Yard for the Greeley Sub frequently have to "double over" in the yard, meaning their train cannot fit on a single yard track, and instead is on two (or even more) tracks. The UP crew on the head end here is waiting at a red signal at CP DS900 (Broadway). The train must pull into the OS at Broadway in order to clear the needed yard switch at the back end. The problem is that a North Yard Switch Job is on the Belt Main, headed for Bypass 2, so the train here cannot go anywhere.

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.

On December 3, 2025, UP 5734 was leading a coal empty on the North Fork Branch when the train struck a boulder on the tracks. The crew survived with relatively minor injuries. Not sure if UP 5734 will ultimately survive. It is finally being transported east from Grand Junction, but it is unclear if it will be repaired, or scrapped and written off.

However, generally speaking, most are not powered. In fact, of the nine units on the head end of the manifest here, only the lead unit is under power. There is also a single DPU on the tail end. The other eight units are being transported to North Platte (or beyond), for various reasons. The train is just west of Leyden here, under overcast skies.

Fortunately, there were no major injuries to the crew. The two units, however, were pretty banged up. Union Pacific is finally transporting the units to either be repaired or scrapped.
