Ten years ago, there were only two tracks along here. The Moffat Tunnel Main (UP's track), furthest from camera and the Golden Sub (BNSF's line to Golden) nearest the camera. UP's Main 2 (which Amtrak is on) and the Arvada Siding are relatively new. UP supplies the coal for the Coors Brewery. UP leaves loaded hoppers on the Arvada Siding and BNSF's "Beer Run" picks it up. Also of note, this is the first shot I've taken from the recently rebuilt Sheridan Blvd overpass.
