Yard grabs |
| Description: |
We rode the G train out to Wheat Ridge in the foothills, which went past the RTD shop facilities on the way. I caught a few equipment shots as we passed. |

The light went before I could get my glint shot, but I stuck around to get some twilight views anyway, such as this Denver bound train approaching the 61st-Pena stop |

| Description: |
Of all the ironies, the last car on this Denver bound train is...4014. Go figure!! |

A different 4014 |
| Description: |
I just spent two days following UPs 4014 across Kansas and Colorado(and another day chasing it in Oklahoma), only to find myself looking at a much different example of that same number, this one advertising a car rental operation. Kind of appropriate, since it will shortly be at DIA |

The airport bound train starts to move out to ita final stop at DIA. The trains dont spend a lot of dwell time at stations, and seem to run efficiently. |

On the platform |
| Description: |
The train is now at the platform, and well board for the trip back to Denver. They make you get off and wait at the station while the train pulls west of the staton for its short layover. A better option is get off at Arvada Old Town, which has shops and restaurants immdeiately adjacent to the station. |

Arrived |
| Description: |
We have arrived at Wheat Ridge-Ward Rd on this G train. It will pull west of the station to change ends and return to Denver after a short layover. There is a lot of residential development going on here, as can be seen in the background, but thus far, not much for restaurants, etc, which will likely come later. Arvada Old Town is a better turning point if you want a bite to eat. |

Looks like the South Shore |
| Description: |
I had a chance to shoot some of the Denver RTD train while there for some medical consultation in late August and early September. One of the lines I caught was the A line to the airport. This eastbound(to the airport) train was crossing Green Valley Ranch Rd, near where it crosses Pena Blvd. The cars and catenary are strikingly reminiscent of the South Shore. |

First train of the day |
| Description: |
The morning after I followed UP 4014 to Strasburg, I went down to Pena Blvd on the RTD to get some shots I had wanted to do on my previous trip. I spent a couple hours there, enjoying the interurban appeal of the trains heading to and from the airport. One was arriving as I walked up to the station, and I caught it between the catenary supports. |
