UP's North Yard is fairly empty on this Sunday morning, with only a handful of units hanging around, most of those being units for yard jobs, transfers, or locals. Granted there are only four destinations for road freights that North Yard has to contend with these days: Pueblo to the south, North Platte, NE to the east, and Grand Junction to the west, and Green River, WY to the west.

BNSF's Denver yard is by far the largest yard in Denver, larger than both UP's North Yard and UP's 36th Street Yard. It has over 35 yard tracks in several places as well as a full car repair facility. The south side of the yard (far left in this frame) has three tracks under CTC control. The main line, plus "Coal 1" and "Coal 2", where coal trains frequently tie down.

A UP GP40-2 #1357 sits near the yard office at UP's 36th Street Yard. This particular GP40-2 is no stranger to Denver as it started life at DRGW 3102. On June 3, 1997, it absorbed in to UP's roster as UP 5256. About six years later, on September 30, 2003, it found its new home on the roster as UP 1357. Nearly twenty years later, that's the number it still owns.

Being a diesel brat, I was particularly sad to see that UP is getting rid of UP 6936, a DDA40X and largest diesel locomotive ever produced. It has been inoperable since 2017, and it appears UP no longer wishes to deal with its mechanical issues. Fortunately, the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America museum has said they intend to repair it and bring it back to operational condition.
