Closest to the camera is Main 3. The train, currently tied down with no crew, is on Main 2. These two mains are owned by BNSF. The next track over in Main 1, owned by Union Pacific (although BNSF dispatches all three main tracks). The next two tracks are RTD's Light Rail tracks. Lastly, a stub track for switching some industries off the mains are on the far side. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train was originally going to tie down at Cliff, but was too long for the siding. So it continued down to Rocky. Unfortunately, the crew van was not notified of the change and is waiting up at Cliff. The van has now been informed and is on its way to Rocky. Meanwhile, the Zephyr heads north on the main at Eisele (Clay) in the background. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
