Five years ago, there were only two tracks here at the Tennyson Street grade crossing: UP's Main and the BNSF Spur to Golden. Now, however, there are five tracks at Tennyson Street. BNSF's Spur is on the far right. Then, moving left, we have UP Main 2 and UP Main 1. Off to the left of the frame are the two commuter rail tracks for RTD's Gold Line to Arvada, which is set to open in the fall of 2016.

Here, the back end of a coal load sits on Main 1 as hostlers work to cutout the swing helpers at C&S Junction.
