Power on the Beer Run seems to be changing a lot lately. BNSF will throw just about anything on there. I've seen everything from SD40-2s to SD70ACes. C44-9Ws to ES44DCs. On this day, an H2 C44-9W and a H1 C44-9W power the train. The two geeps in the back will serve as the Golden Switch power in the coming week.

In order to make it to the lower yard at Coors, train have to cross West 44th Avenue (the same road that the Colorado Railroad Museum is located on!) Trains cross 44th using a stoplight for protection. The stoplight doubles as the stop light at the intersection of 44th and Eldridge.

Nearly 12 miles west of Denver, the Beer Run is approach the switch at Terrell Junction on the Golden Sub. At Terrell Junction, trains have the option of going into the lower yard (switch reversed) or the upper yard (switch normal). In this case, the train will be going to the lower yard.

This train might be running on BNSF's Golden Subdivision, which primarily serves to transport cars into and out of the Coors Brewing company, but this is not the so-called "Beer Run". It is actually the Golden Switch job. There are several industries that run along the line that have nothing to do with Coors that need to be switched. Here, the switch job is bringing a few cars into town.

It's about 9:30am and the First Beer Run is slowly making its way west through Arvada. For the past several weeks (if not months), the Beer Run has had one big (new) motor and a second smaller (old) motor. On this day, it was an ES44AC and an SD40-2. The train is approaching Garrison Street in this shot.
