After a 25 minute stop in Denver, Amtrak 5 is on the move between DS 004 (Pecos St Crossover) and DS 005 (C&S Jct). The train is running on clear signals on Main 3, about to pass underneath the I-76 overpass. Note the family of geese running for the clear on the right side of the picture!

At the end of November in 2004, UP opened up the Belt Line Bypass. Two new tracks run from C&S Junction to Broadway north of North Yard. To avoid a diamon at grade level with the BNSF Front Range Sub, the Front Range Sub was lowered and the new flyover runs over the BNSF main. Here, a unit sulfur train heading into town, passing under an empty UP coal train sitting on main 1 on the bypass.

On the night of September 6, two tank cars on the BNSF Golden Spur ran away east through Arvada. At C&S Junction, the place where the Golden Spur ends and joins with the Moffat Road, the tank cars derailed and flew down an embankment. In the process, they took out a switch and two block signals (as well as a Chevy S-10 in a parking lot on the ground!). Fortunately, nobody was hurt. The next day, one of the two tank cars lay less than 200 feet from Federal Blvd, trucks missing from the bottom! With the mainline reopened, a BNSF manifest creeps by in the background.
