A single SD70M leads a ten car passenger special west through Little Ten Curve at toward a clear west signal at Rocky. The train is heading west to Helper, UT. Who all is on the train? Well, that's open to speculation!

A single ES44AC brings up the tail end of the eastbound Provo-Denver near the west switch of Rocky. A short UP work train waits in the siding, the conductor getting ready to head back in to the cab after giving the BNSF eastbound a rollby.

A single unit leads a work train consisting of gondolas sits in the siding at Rocky, waiting on BNSF's Provo-Denver to show up. Once meeting the manifest, the work train here will proceed up and in to the siding at Eisele (Clay). The gondolas will be tied down there and the unit will return light back to North Yard.

A short Maintenance of Way train is stopped on the siding at Rocky, waiting for an eastbound BNSF Provo-Denver which is currently making its way east on the main at Eisele (Clay) in the background.

As AC units have become more and more prevalent in the 21st century, it is less and less common to find solid sets of DC units on manifests. However, a C44-9W and an ES44DC lead the Provo-Denver east out of the siding at Plain on this morning.

An eastbound BNSF Provo-Denver rolls east toward a clear signal at the east end of the siding at Plain. The relatively short manifest met the Zephyr here at Plain just minutes ago. Leading the train is one of the earlier C44-9Ws, still in its Heritage 2 scheme.

The westbound Zephyr is running a few minutes behind schedule this morning as it climbs toward the east switch of Plain from Tunnel 1. Starting tomorrow, the westbound Zephyr will be running on a two hour delayed schedule west of Denver due to some Union Pacific MOW windows.

The westbound Zephyr has one of the "Big Game Train" units, AMTK 157, second out this morning as the train comes out of Tunnel 1 on its journey west.

It is not always apparent from the ground, but the blades for wind turbines have a pretty significant curve to them! Each blade actually spans two flat cars. From top to bottom, the tracks here are the North Yard Siding, Main 3, Bypass 2, and Bypass 1.

As the head end of the morning westbound Zephyr knocks down an approach signal at Pecos Crossover, the tail end of the Zephyr just passed by the old water tower, still standing near Utah Junction. To the right, the MNYNP sits on Bypass 2, waiting to come in to the yard. A blade train from Vestas is also waiting for new power to head south on the Joint Line to Texas.

At the beginning of its journey west of Denver, the daily California Zephyr passes underneath the sole-remaining Rio Grande era signal bridge at the west (geographic north) end of North Yard. The train is on the main, running alongside the North Yard siding and the yard lead.

A single AC4400CW brings up the tail end of UP's thrice weekly MNYGJ, about to enter in to Tunnel 2. You can see the train threading its way west through the Tunnel District, as the train is in and out of Tunnel 3 and wrapping around the bend in to Tunnel 4.

You can see the three units on the head end of the MNYGJ as they approach the east portal of Tunnel 3. The rather lengthy train is still coming out of Plain and heading in to Tunnel 2.

After the morning Zephyr passed by on the main, the MNYGJ got a light to follow west, pulling out of the siding at Plain. The head end of the manifest is just about to duck in to Tunnel 2.
