The train has an Approach Diverging signal about a mile ahead of it. However, that would change to an Approach signal after dispatch called to ask if he could line the train down a different track.

It fades...and it fades a lot! A great example is the power on BNSF's Denver to Provo trackage rights train. The lead C44-9W is several shades lighter than the trailing two units.

A pair of Yellow-Bonnets, a GP39-2 and a GP38, will serve as power for the Golden Switch which runs east out of Golden to switch other industries on the Golden Sub. In 1987 and 1988, these same units could be found on the Joint Line, running some of the hottest trains on the Santa Fe (the QDVLJ and QLJDV from Denver to La Junta and vice versa).

BNSF will throw just about anything on there. I've seen everything from SD40-2s to SD70ACes. C44-9Ws to ES44DCs. On this day, an H2 C44-9W and a H1 C44-9W power the train. The two geeps in the back will serve as the Golden Switch power in the coming week. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Trains cross 44th using a stoplight for protection. The stoplight doubles as the stop light at the intersection of 44th and Eldridge.

At Terrell Junction, trains have the option of going into the lower yard (switch reversed) or the upper yard (switch normal). In this case, the train will be going to the lower yard.

A shabby-looking Warbonnet C40-8W - sandwiched by a pair of ES44DCs - are patiently waiting for the arrival of the Ski Train. The third unit, BNSF 7200, looks fresh out of the shop!

I shot the train a few hours earlier preparing its train for departure from the yard. Here, the train has a track warrant all the way to Longs Peak, so it won't be making a stop anytime soon!

However, while Light Rail is being rebuilt, freight traffic is restricted to Main 3. Such is the case here, as a southbound coal load passes through the Form B, give plenty of bell and whistle to the men and equipment in the area.
