A new crew was called at 9:50am. Upon arriving at North Yard, the crew had to pull power off the train and replace it with new power. UP got rid of all of its hostlers a few years ago, so crews have to shuttle power around themselves. In this shot, the outbound crew is taking three units and putting it back on their train in preparation to head west. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

UP's MGRNY has arrived and is working on breaking the train up between Track 3 and Track 4 in the yard. At 5500 feet, the train was too long to fit on a single yard track, as Track 3 is only around 3500 feet long. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

UP 9795 was actually originally delivered to Chicago North Western in April 1994. Within the past few years, UP has started a rebuild program, taking some old DC traction motor units, and rebuilding them as AC traction motor units. This is a perfect example!

UP 9795 and train are coming off the Greeley Sub, wrapping around the north leg of a wye that leads to the Belt Industrial Lead. You can see the inbound main for the 36th Street Yard in the distance.

A few years ago, UP extended the track from the siding at Hazeltine south to the auto facility at Rolla, effectively creating a long switching lead for Rolla. Previously, the Rolla job would often have to use the main. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

You can see that situation here. UP 8139 will soon put this train together so it can depart south. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

UP has a daily train that runs west from Denver to Green River, WY (the train on the left), and a counterpart that comes to Denver from Green River, WY (the train on the right). Since UP stopped running general manifest trains west of Grand Junction, CO, cars running between Denver and Salt Lake City are also on these trains.
