Photo ID: 104501 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, October 19, 2013 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 2342 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Southern Pacific, Union Pacific This is one of only two unpatched Espee GP60s left on UP's roster at this time, the other being SP 9721. The paint is definitely looking a little shoddy, but I felt pretty lucky to come across one of the only "unassimilated" units left on UP's roster! Unfortunately, the unit was pretty well tucked back in North Yard, so I had to settle for this "over the fence", "from a distance shot" from 48th Avenue.

The track configuration and rolling stock sitting in the yard hasn't changed much. The type of power and color scheme has changed dramatically! 30 years ago, this was the main yard for the Rio Grande and there was a sea of Black and Aspen Gold here. 20 years ago, Scarlet Gray had moved in. Today, Armour Yellow dominates as North Yard is now just a small, local yard on Union Pacific's vast system. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Among other things, the company built thousands of concrete ties for railroads all over the country. The plant has moved to Pueblo, CO now and construction on a new maintenance facility for RTD (for EMU vehicles) is under way.

Here is a shot of a part of the truck and axle on a UP covered hopper tied down in long-term storage. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Appeared that these cars are presently surplus and were tied down on this old branch track. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This train is headed for the "W" Line. The "W" Line was completed a few months ago and largely follows the old BN Federal Branch right of way heading west. It ultimately terminates at the Jefferson County Building near Golden. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The scarlet and gray is fading and not looking too well. Unfortunately, Espee is getting very close to being nothing more than a museum railroad.

A very dirty UP 6668 is the lead unit. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This particular units joined UP's roster in 2008 as part of an order of 50 such units. They are not super common in Denver as there is such a focus on coal in Denver and SD70ACes, at this point, are seldom - if ever - used as coal power.

Photo ID: 104350 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, February 23, 2013 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 2033 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific UP is in the process of renumbering their 309 SD9043MACs. The units have spent their entire lives in the 8000-8308 number range. Now, in order to make room for new power, the units are being moved to a number range that, for several decades, was held by UP's SD40-2 force. It looks quite odd to see this unit with such a lower number after 17 years. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

However, it is a testament to the quality of EMD power that this nearly 35-year-old unit is still on the rails. Sure hope EMD can find some new life under Caterpillar.

The concrete tie plant (owned by Rocla) that used to be located just east of BNSF's Rennicks Yard has been moved to Pueblo, CO. The reason? RTD and the FasTracks project! The old building for the tie plant has largely been torn down and can be see way off in the distance. Meanwhile, a lot of construction has already been completed on the new Light Rail flyover.
