Two DPU units on the tail end of a southbound coal load push hard on Main Two. Meanwhile, the Salt Mine switch job pulls on a string of cars on the right side of the shot.

This is the engine that was beat out by General Electric's P42DC to replace the F40PH. Amtrak received several of these units for use (as the name implies) in California. It is a rare find to find one of these outside that west coast state.

A rare shot of the back end of an F59PH! This unit came up the Joint Line earlier in the day. It is currently being placed at the House while waiting to depart.

A site that you don't exactly see on a daily basis! BNSF's HKCKDEN (Kansas City - Denver) picked up an Amtrak California F59PH from the testing center outside Pueblo. This F59 came east from California on the Zephyr last September.

Talk about a nice sampling of paint schemes! A C44-9W wears the original Heritage scheme while a second C44-9W sports the Heritage II scheme. Then, on the tail end, an ES44DC has the New Image scheme.

Now here are some good old fashioned EMD work-horses! A GP15-1 and a GP38-2 work to switch cars for the MDVGR (Denver, CO to Green River, WY) which would depart later in the day. These units are particularly good in yard service as they are not equipped with dynamic brakes. This makes them less useful as road power over much of UP's system.

A "triclops" SD60M idles away in the yard at 36th Street. This power was brand new in the 1980's ... these days, you can still find this power on the mainline. In fact, this particular unit went east of the Limon Sub to Salina, KS later in the day. Oh, and that fantastic looking SD40-2 is looking pretty dang good too!

A train headed for the Joint Line is coming out of the yard in Denver with a pretty descent-looking Warbonnet on the point! That Warbonnet is letting loose on a bit of exhaust!

It has been nearly three years since UP 1989 was unveiled in Denver! And in all that time, it has probably spent more than 90% of its time running between Denver and Pueblo overnight on the Joint Line. Happened to catch it hanging around the yard during the day, awaiting its night run to Pueblo ten hours later.

UP's Denver, CO to Salina, KS manifest is all set to depart Denver. The only thing it is missing is a track warrant! A coal empty is coming in off the Limon Sub and the manifest here has to wait (in spectacular light that only lasted another 90 seconds).

This SW1000 comes from Western Rail Leasing. I honestly have no idea where it is headed, but it was sitting all by its lonesome in BNSF's yard.

Today, it is ES44ACs and SD70ACes ... 15 years ago, it was SD60Ms! An example was sitting in North Yard on the ready track on this particular afternoon. UP 2463 was delivered in 1992 as UP 6308. In April 2007, this unit got kicked out of the 6300-series to make room for future deliveries.

Somewhat obscured by trees, BNSF's HDENLAU (Denver, CO to Laurel, MT) is working on assembling its train in the yard. Once its air test is complete, it'll head north toward the Front Range Sub and points beyond.

I figure it is also worth posting pictures of Warbonnets, even if they are just sitting around at the time of the shot! A C40-8W and an SD75M are sitting, waiting for their next assignment.
