East of Rennicks Yard, there are roughly a dozen or so companies that ship and/or receive via rail. BNSF has a switch job that works six days a week switching cars out for the industries. Currently, a pair of GP39-2s have the task. The units are remote control enabled, so a single crewman is capable of throw switching and uncoupling cars, while controlling the units from his remote pack.

Approaching a green signal at the east end of Rocky, DS-78 is rolling the dice a bit on taking the Provo-Denver east to Leyden for a meet with the Zephyr. The Zephyr has already departed Denver, and dispatchers would usually hold an eastbound at Rocky for a meet. Turned out the meet worked out great, with the manifest in the clear in time to not slow down the Zephyr at all.

This westbound oil train is slowing to a stop in the siding at Tolland. It has cleared the east switch, and will stop before blocking the grade crossing. The train will have to wait here for two eastbounds. The first is the Zephyr, and the second is a fellow BNSF train (the Provo-Denver). The crew on the Provo-Denver is running short on time, so the dispatcher is trying to keep them moving.

This is a really interesting shot. BNSF 5696 is leading BNSF's Denver to Laurel, MT is at the start of the Front Range Sub. It will take the train north to Cheyenne, WY (and beyond). Meanwhile, UP power is getting ready to tie on to some cars that will create UP's North Yard to Green River, WY manifest. That train will depart across this same diamond on the other track, and ultimately head north to Cheyenne, WY as well, on its way to Green River, WY.

A trio of units are elephant-style on the head end of BNSF's Denver to Laurel manifest. The train is sitting on BNSF's "New North Main" alongside Rennicks Intermodal Yard on one side, and UP's North Yard on the other side. The train is working on getting a track warrant so it can head north on the FRS.
