These train tend to be slightly underpowered and can be very slow climbing up to the Palmer Divide. Recently, BNSF has been running more of these trains with an additional manned unit on the tail end from Big Lift (south of Denver) to Palmer Lake. Here, a single SD70MAC is returning north to Big Lift to await its next assignment south. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The SD70MACs are DPU units controlled by the head end, while the SD70ACe is a manned unit that was added at Big Lift (just south of Denver). The extra unit will help push up to Palmer Lake, and then cut off and return to Big Lift. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Thanks to the sharp left turn at Little Ten Curve, you can readily see both end of this train, stopped on the siding at Rocky.
