Photo ID: 110684 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, July 7, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 67 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific A single AC4400CW sits near the ready tracks in North Yard. I shot this same unit the day before. It was the lead unit on a westbound oil train. It stopped in the siding at Leyden because this unit was leaking air to the extent the train went in to emergency and could not be recovered. You can see a bypass hose lining the right side of the unit. It's possible the unit is waiting to be taken to North Platte, NE for repairs.

After the westbound Zephyr passes by, the train will head for the Belt Industrial Lead, and on to the Greeley Sub. The train will have to "double over", meaning it will pick up the second half of its train from a different track. The train will be 8,100 feet long when it finally departs. To the left, we see a long line of trailers waiting to either be loaded on to trains, or picked up by trucks, at BNSF's Rennicks intermodal facility.
