Fox Junction was about two miles north of the C&S yard in Denver. This was where the Rio Grande tracks from the Moffat Line and North Yard met the C&S lines from Cheyenne and Golden on their way south to Union Station and Pueblo. Looking south, Jim caught C&S 2-8-0 605 with a freight and westbound D&RGW F7-A 5571 with the California Zephyr there on September 27, 1958. Judging by the smoke plume and the engineer sitting on the window sill, looking towards the caboose, the 605 is pushing the freight back under the Valley Highway (today’s I-25) bridge.
