A GP38-2 (now designated as a GP38N after a rebuilt by UP) and an SD40-2 sit together near the yard office in North Yard. These two units are idle at the moment, but when needed, they'll be used as switcher in the yard. It is pretty easy to trace the heritage of UP 737 by virtue of the fact that it has no dynamic brakes. With very few exception, nearly any unit without dynamic brakes is of Missouri Pacific heritage. MoPac ordered many units that had no dynamic brakes as MoPac ran in (relatively) flat lands.

The ZLBDV has arrived in Denver and is currently shoving cars back in to the intermodal facility located just off of UP's 36th Street Yard. This entire area, known as the Rhino District of Denver, has radically changed in the past 10-15 years. Massive apartment complexes have built up all around the yard. New restaurants have opened in the area and new bridges cross the yard to connect either side of the tracks.

The Forney Museum of Transportation in Denver has a lot of great, classic equipment. Trains, cars, motorcycles, and even a few small planes. One of the "crown jewels" of the train collection is UP 4005. It is one of only 25 that were produced between 1941 and 1944. This particular one is "stuffed" meaning it is no longer operable. But it looks pretty great sitting inside the museum, safe and protected from the outside conditions of the world.

An overview of the Burnham property from the north side. You can see that a lot of rail used to run through the property, but evidence of them is disappearing as weeds overtake what is left on the property. Rumor has it that CDOT (the Colorado Department of Transportation) has purchased the property. For exactly what reason, it is not clear.

A look at the shops on the north side of Burnham. Burned down Building #3 is visible near the top of the frame. You can see where some tracks used to run, but all have since been pulled up. There are still two tracks (not used by Light Rail) on the top-right of the frame. UP uses these to access a few customers still in the area.
