Slow day at the Junction
Title:  Slow day at the Junction
Description:  Along the BNSF Joint Line just on the southeast side of Pueblo, one can find Salt Creek Jct. From the rear of my work place is this shot that can be had. Here on the right is the BNSF Hill Cut led by the BNSF 9913, this train is on the "Old Way". To the left in the shot is a staple of the JL. A nb Empty Coal Train. Never a shortage of these on the line. This one os led by BNSF 5677, and the train is on the "New Way".. Not a bad place to work, if I mus say so.

Roydale Yard
Title:  Roydale Yard
Description:  UP has a yard along the KP east of Denver that serves quite a few industries out this way. Power for these jobs is 4 axle units, be they standard cab ones or "Butt Heads". Today, some of the power is this ex MP GP15-1 now working for UP, but disguised as a UP Y unit. This is along 37th Street across from the Denver Jail and Colo DOC Induction center and Womens Facility. To the west of this line is where the new RTD Light Rail is going. This is all along Smith Road as well as the aforementioned 37th St
