Nostalgia & History > Santa Fe - All the Chilly Way - 1984Date: 11/02/05 12:16 Santa Fe - All the Chilly Way - 1984 Author: cozephyr Santa Fe's train 594 was headed for Burlington Northern's 31st Street Yard, Denver, CO, finishing its trip January 19, 1984. Trains passed through Denver Union Station until later in 1980's when Platte Rail Corridor shifted freight mains further west. ATSF SD40 5113 led the northbound train.

Note BN had their intermodal yard behind the DUT tower. BN used it until Rennix Yard was built. BNSF currently operates Denver intermodal operations north of 48th Avenue.
