To avoid having BNSF's Front Range Sub from crossing UP's four main tracks using diamonds, a grade separation exists in Cheyenne. Here, a UP intermodal train crosses underneath a BNSF MDENLAU train!

Perhaps the most well-documented bridges on the Joint Line is this bridge on main one, located just south of the town of Larkspur. The Santa Fe heritage is still evident on the bridge.

These units wear the paint schemes of two of my favorite railroads. The first, obviously, is Rio Grande. However, I have always like Santa Fe, particularly the blue and yellow scheme. Although this Santa Fe SD40-2 has been patched BNSF, it still looks good. The Rio Grande GP40-2 is the lead unit on the eastbound Rocky Local, and the Santa Fe SD40-2 is the third unit on a empty BNSF coal train bound for the Wildcat coal mine in Utah on the Utah Railway.

There is a switch just west of the signal bridge at Utah Junction that connects the BN "New North Main" with the Union Pacific main. It is this crossover that BNSF 4166 is currently traversing to head west on the Moffat Sub toward Grand Junction and, eventually, Stockton, CA.

BNSF has the rights to a Soda Ash plant near Parachute, CO (between Glenwood Springs and Grand Junction). Consequently, unit covered hopper trains will occasionally appear on the Moffat Road heading to or from the Soda Ash plant.
