Indeed, the truck from one of the passengers cars has been removed from the car itself. Hydraulic jacks have been used on either side of the passenger car to keep the car elevated while the truck is removed. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

UP 9754 practically looks as though is rolled out of the paint shop. Unfortunate that it is currently stuck in storage, along with many other C44-9Ws and SD70Ms. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 109962 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, December 31, 2023 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 114 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific North Yard in Denver was originally built by the Denver and Salt Lake. It then went to the Rio Grande, followed by Southern Pacific, and now, Union Pacific. There are around 25 yard tracks in North Yard. As you can see, there are cars on most of the tracks, although many of the tracks are not particularly full. If you note the light blue building in the distance (with one white door and one blue door)...this was the car repair facility (called the RIP facility - Repair In Place). On December 5, 2023, UP management decided to close the shop. 13 car repairmen were immediately laid off and escorted off the property! No more car repair facilities in Denver. North Platte is now the closest for repairs. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The power is currently the bridge that crosses over the South Platte river as it backs up with a string of double stacks. I don't think I've ever seen double stacks at 31st Street, as they are generally handled out of Rennicks Yard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
