Some switching action in the yard at Cheyenne can be seen from the Norris Viaduct. This overpass is right at the east end of the yard. SD40-2 #3150 is sandwiched in between two sets of hoppers as its RCL crew works to rearrange the cars.

Yard Shots BNSF
BNSF's New Image is slowly but surely being applied to more and more existing units (in addition to new units). Noted this GP38-2 working on the "Salt Mine" switch job at BNSF's 31st Street Yard.

This GP40-2 was one of the few former Espee GP40-2's to actually where a number in the 5275-series for a brief time before being moved into the current number series. Here, the unit sits at 36th Street, awaiting its next local assignment.

Yard Shots Amtrak
On this day, Amtrak 5 was running 12 1/2 hours late due to poor weather in the mid-west. Here, after 8:00pm, the head end of the westbound Zephyr is approaching the diamond at 23rd Street. In the distance, on the left side of the picture, note the eastbound Zephyr (running a few minutes late), preparing to back into Union Station. (Apologies for the grainy look, but it was getting very dark and I was at a high ISO!)

The eastbound Zephyr comes around the wye track near 23rd Street, headed for BNSF's 31st Street Yard. Once in the yard, the train will back down the Passenger Lead into Union Station.

Running about 40 minutes late, the eastbound California Zephyr has a clear signal down the main track at North Yard. To the east (right side of the shot), crews work on loading trailers on BNSF's QDENTAC.

A single UP employee works with his belt pack to remotely control UPY 577 and switch some covered hoppers into Yard Track 11. This is model railroading on a 1:1 scale!

A bit of light pokes through the clouds in the western sky at 7:35pm to light up the sides of a few of Denver's buildings as the eastbound Zephyr backs into Union Station on the passenger lead. It is 7:35pm...Amtrak would come to a stop at 7:43pm - precisely on time!

With the light fading fairly fast in the western sky, black and white seemed appropriate for this shot. The eastbound Zephyr must borrow a part of BNSF's yard in order to back into Union Station on the Passenger Lead. Note the conductor from the head end walking to throw a switch.

Yard Shots BNSF, NS
I thought this was an interesting trio of units sitting near BNSF's House. A Norfolk Southern "Catfish" (a name given to NS C44-9Ws by railfans) is sandwiched by two Warbonnets. Unfortunately, the second Warbonnet was blocked by additional power and I couldn't include any more of the unit.

A good looking Warbonnet SD75M idles in the distance while the UP Transfer heads from BNSF's 31st Street Yard back to UP's 36th Street Yard. At least once per day, UP comes to 31st Street from 36th Street to drop off and pick up interchange cars. Likewise, BNSF heads to North Yard from 31st Street to do the same.

This is something of a back-lit shot, but I decided to post it anyway. The reason being that this unit was in the consist of the MDVSI-04, getting ready to head east out of town. I have a strong suspicion that this unit might be headed for North Little Rock for a fresh coat of Armour Yellow paint!

Yard Shots BNSF
A very interesting trio of power sits on the ready track in Denver. BNSF 9150 is one of newest units (an SD70ACe) on BNSF's roster. The unit was delivered this year and has EMDs "Whisper Cab". BNSF 520 is a badly faded B40-8W. Lastly, BNSF 8175 is one of the only SD60M to actually receive a repaint (into the H2 scheme, in this case).

A GP40M (on the left) and an SD40-2 (on the right) sit just outside BNSF's Denver engine facility. Both units are equipped with the capability to be controlled remotely for yard work.

A set of four all-EMD units (including a snoot-nose SD40-2) sit near the yard office in the 36th Street Yard. Having been raised on the Rio Grande, I'm definitely an EMD railfan and I always enjoy seeing a solid EMD consist. The two SD70M's are less than ten years old and the SD40-2's turn 30 this month!
