Most of the relevant parts have been auctioned off, but the piece of the crane that spans the ground between the rails still remains.

Photo ID: 110143 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, January 21, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Burnham Denver, CO 375 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific Rio Grande's (and later SP and UP's) Burnham shops were located quite close to Denver. UP closed the shop on February 14, 2016. Rumor has it that in 1996, UP made a deal with then Colorado governor Roy Romer, agreeing to keep the shop open for 20 years in exchange for Colorado not objecting to UP mothballing Tennessee Pass the following year in 1997. The shops had a turntable that was still in use right up until the shops closed. The shops predate the 8th Avenue viaduct which, when built, had to be built around the south end of the main shops.

This is where, until February 14, 2016, UP made major repairs to diesel units in Denver. Prior to UP, SP and (of course) Rio Grande carried out maintenance here.

In the summer of 2021, the building caught fire and burned completely to the ground. Since UP had already removed all the equipment from the property it cared about, little was done for the old building, other than putting the flames out.

It has certainly seen better days, as it is absolutely covered in graffiti. More than likely, it recently came to Denver from Southern California. It and fellow UP SD40-2 are part of a yard transfer. UP brought some cars over to BNSF, and they are not preparing to head back to North Yard. Additionally, take note of the long hood of BNSF 6778, which appears to say "BSNF"!

There is also a coal load on Coal 1 and a grain train on Coal 2, both waiting for crews so they can head south. These three tracks (the main and the two coal tracks) are all CTC right now, controlled by the Brush Sub Dispatcher. All other tracks are yard tracks, and under the jurisdiction of the 31st Street Yardmaster. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
