They have a small, one-room yard office and (at this time) a single GP38-2 for switching.

The track way off to the far right is UP's track which runs to Julesburg, CO and the Overland Route. That track only sees about a train a week, when a local runs from Julesburg to Sterling and back.

The buildings and commuter rail increase as the freight rails, at best, stay unchanged if not decrease.

Photo ID: 106342 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, January 14, 2017 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 36th Street Yard Denver, CO 1613 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific With the construction of the RTD A-Line (Commuter Rail) from Union Station to DIA, several new pedestrian overpasses have been constructed. One such overpass crosses UP's 36th Street Yard in Denver. This offers a new perspective on the yard that was not previously possible! Here, we can see units used on locals and for switching in the yard (to the right), and some units on the "ready track" to the left. Those units (to the left) will be used on the MDVSI (Manifest, Denver, CO to Salina, KS). Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

As the train rolls towards the photography, I think to myself thank goodness the FRA allows for exceptions to the requirement of engines having ditch lights!

In my opinion, the "baby wings" look very good on the nose of the SD40N. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Interestingly, the GP38-2 working is numbered 825. This was once the number of one of UP's 4-8-4 "Northern" class steam engines, just like UP 844!
