At this location, UP trains coming from and going to Denver come through the junction on one track, BNSF trains coming from and going to Denver come through on another, all southbounds leave on a third track, and northbounds arrive on a fourth track. Here, a BNSF southbound is headed for the Pueblo Subdivision to continue on to La Junta. Northbounds arrive from the Spanish Peaks Sub on the track to the right.

After the MoPac/UP merger, Rio Grande actually gained trackage rights to Kansas City on the MoPac line from NA Junction. After the UP/SP merger, UP sold the line to short line railroads and it is hardly used today. BNSF train, however, use the former ATSF line (now the Pueblo Sub) to make it to La Junta. Here, a coal load leaves CTC behind in favor of TWC for the trip to La Junta. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
