After an hour wait sitting on the Belt Industrial Lead, the northbound MNYNP-08 is finally heading out of town with DRGW 5371 in tow. This is a shot looking in between two buildings near the control point at Broadway. Even though the buildings obscure a lot of the engine, there is no armour yellow in the shot! Kinda takes you back to when this was the view along the Belt Line every day...

A detailed shot of the tunnel motor radiator intakes and the "class doors" located just above. And of course, the single most important thing in this picture ... the Grande Gold 5371 that has not been (and will not be) patched!

Looking to get a lower-angled roster shot, my dad - the man responsible for my sickness that is a train lover - sits alongside my youngest daughter Jaina. At 2 1/2, she loves going out to watch the train with us!

She may not remember it, but my oldest daughter was there to see 5371 move north toward Cheyenne (most likely for retirement) and here is the proof! This past Christmas, we got her a new digital camera. She does her best (at five years old) to get a shot of 5371 too!

As the MNYNP-08 waits for a meet with a southbound coal empty, the sun comes shining through the partly cloudy skies at just the right angle to really light up 5371 nicely! The unit was idling, although it would not load (so it couldn't work to pull the train). other than the missing number boards, not a bad sight at all!

Just shy of the control point at Broadway, the northbound MNYNP-08 holds at a red signal. The train has been having some rear-end device issues, and it is also waiting for a meeting with a southbound coal empty coming off the Greeley line. There is a lot of power for the train as it is 130 cars and over 7,300 feet long! Note that DRGW 5371 is the 6th unit, being moved to Cheyenne, most likely for retirement.

DRGW 5371, the 6th of 6 units on the MNYNP-08, leaves North Yard behind - possibly for the last time - as the manifest prepares to take its train and head north toward Cheyenne.

After leaving the Greeley Subdivision behind, the MNPNY slowly makes its way toward North Yard on the Belt Line. Here, the Rio Grande Heritage Unit (fourth in the consist) crosses over a branch of the South Platte River.

During a yard transfer, these three units are moving from North Yard over to 36th Street via the Belt Line. The first unit is, of course, a former Cotton Belt GP40-2. The second two units are in fact both former Rio Grande GP40-2's.

The southbound MNPNY (North Platte to North Yard) manifest has almost reached the end of its trip. The train take a diverging approach signal at Broadway (CP DS900) at the west end of the Belt Industrial Lead. The train is about a half mile away from the yard limits of North Yard.

Two SW1500's work hard to pull a string of Xcel Energy hoppers into North Yard. The switchers are headed down the old Belt Industrial Lead into North Yard. The two tracks in the foreground are bypass mains two and one (from left to right). The tracks lead from the Belt Industrial Lead to C&S Junction.

This coal empty is now on the Belt Main track, the track that will take it between UP Jct and North Yard. The train is about to pass the Cherokee Power Plant.
