As far as I know, UP has all of it DC GE-fleet in long term storage. UP 9755 is an example of a C44-9W that is currently in 36th Street. UP has taken some of these older units and rebuilt them into C44ACM, with AC traction motors.

UP 3854 sits in a long string of units at 36th Street that are in long term storage. Of the roughly 1,400 SD70Ms that UP ordered in the early 2000s, I am curious as to just how many are currently sitting in storage, not being used.

Yard Shots Rocky Mountaineer
The Rocky Mountaineer departed Denver this morning for Moab, UT. The two GP40-3s are working at the moment, so the SD40M-2 is being left behind in Denver with the SD18 that is used for switching.

A yard crew at 36th Street has moved out of the way for a single unit that is going to pick up cars on the Limon Sub and then proceed to Limon. The cars will be dropped off for the KYLE railroad.

Union Pacific has a pretty substantial maintenance project coming up. They are going to replace the ties throughout the 6.2 mile long Moffat Tunnel. The project includes quite a bit of fresh ballast as well. This ballast train is on Track 1 in North Yard. Currently, there is no power...but eventually, the train will be taken west, up to the Moffat.

Yard Shots Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific
The poles around North Yard make this a bit of a tricky shot to get, but I thought it was worth it as it could be representative of the future. At the end of July, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern announced their intention to merge. There are many regulatory hurdles for the railroads to overcome, but if they end up getting approval to merge, this is a scene that will become far more common.

A pair of GP38-2s sit near the North Yard yard tower, awaiting their next switching assignment. UP 737, technically now a GP38N after a rebuild, just celebrated its 45th birthday! It was originally delivered to Missouri Pacific as MP 2237 in August 1980.

AMTK 22 and AMTK 134 back up on the Coal Lead and onto the main track at BNSF's 31st Street Yard. Once clear of the crossovers, the crossover will be aligned for Main 2, and the train will depart toward the Joint Line.

Amtrak, working with the Washington State Department of Transportation, came up with a nice looking paint scheme for this AIRO train set that will run in the Cascades. The green scheme, with the Mt Rainier stamps, looks very nice. Here, the train set is back toward BNSF's 31st Yard so it can depart south on the Joint Line.

As we see this Amtrak Cascades AIRO train set back toward BNSF's 31st Street Yard, I cannot help but wonder if this site could become more often in the future. Not the Cascades livery, but CDOT is looking to try to start train service between Denver and Granby on the Moffat. I wonder if CDOT might look at a Siemens train set like this for their trains.

This Amtrak Cascades AIRO trainset is departing Union Station on the Buck lead. It is going to back through the "wash rack" track toward BNSF's 31st Street Yard, and then depart south on the Joint Line.

Near BNSF's engine house, on the Buck lead, an Amtrak special is departing Union Station. An Amtrak Cascades trainset is going to head south on the Joint Line to go to the Transportation Technology Center near Pueblo, CO.

Sitting near the BNSF engine house was this SD75M! SD75s (both SD75Ms and SD75Is) have become exceedingly rare in recent years. BNSF has been keeping most of them in long term storage. Loved catching this one on this Friday morning.

Love that this "yellow bonnet" GP39-2 has been hanging out around Denver lately, and working as a yard job switcher at BNSF's 31st Street Yard.

The fuel tracks and BNSF ready tracks are busy as ever as crew work to refuel and prep units for their next assignment.
