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).

The sun is sinking in the western sky as the crew for the MDVSI (Denver, CO to Salina, KS) works on untying the brakes.

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.

The two units in the foreground were just delivered back to North Yard from Burnham after a standard 92-day inspection. Other power is serviced in the distance.

I thought that this was worth posting because it is a sight that is becoming less and less common! SD70MACs used to rule on BNSF coal trains. Now, AC4400CWs, ES44ACs and SD70ACes are on coal trains all the time. I thought it was a nice bonus that both units were wearing the Heritage II scheme.

Wow! This unit hasn't been around too terribly long and it has already been beat up quite a bit. This is a Kansas City Southern de Mexico SD70ACe in the "Retro Belle" scheme on the Denver to Kansas City manifest.

Coming around the wye from Prospect Jct, a trio of C44-9W's lead the eastbound MPVODEN. The train just came across the Moffat from Provo, UT and is about to pull into the yard at Denver, the sun getting low in the afternoon sky.

A badly washed out Warbonnet sits on the service track near the diesel shop in Denver. Unfortunately, the majority of Warbonnets look more like this these days. Closer to white and pink rather than silver and red!
