UP power from a selection of decades awaits its next assignment at the old Rio Grande North Yard near downtown Denver.

A set of four RTDX Silverliner Vs stop outside the new yard at 48th Avenue. The set was running as a test train on the new service.

On what was to be the last day of operation of the waterfront Red Cars, a group of passengers try to find room on the already packed trolley. About an hour after I took this shot I heard the news ... (more)

First trick above the house! I'm trying to convince my wife we should make an offer on this house, but she's having none of it. The First Watson heads back to Wilmington.

The First Watson climbs Monoco Hill in Lawndale, having forced a couple of locals to get up from their seats on the tracks. One of them stands up, I think to tell the train off, for making them mo... (more)
