The one "misfit" is the sixth car, which has a Frisco-inspired paint scheme. The train is rolling north toward the small town of Berthoud.

Notice the three cars headed the same direction as the train to the left...and three are fellow railfans, giving chase to this unique move.

Photo ID: 104873 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, December 10, 2014 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Berthoud Berthoud, CO 1480 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF I have no problem admitting that the SD40-2 (and its variants...such as the SD40T-2, of course!) is my favorite engine of all time. I doubt that will every change. So, when there is a train (even if it is a local) that is running with a solid set of SD40-2s, it makes me happy! The SD40-2 is about 40 years old now and it isn't going to be around forever. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This southbound local has a trio of SD40-2s for power. The lead unit has the "white face" that Burlington Northern developed to try to increase visibility to oncoming trains. You may recall that they also developed an "orange face" as well that was applied to some GP50s. So if you use your imagination, maybe that second BNSF SD40-2 is just an orange face GP50!

In 2011, you can find them running on locals. But, then again, at least you can still find them in 2011! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Prior to the installation of this 7,700 foot siding, it was about 60 miles from Broomfield (9,000 feet) to the next siding longer than 4,000 feet. That siding is North Yard located in Fort Collins. On this Friday afternoon, BNSF's daily Denver to Laurel manifest departs north from the main after meeting the Longmont Turn, approaching the south switch on the siding.

There is a dip and a rise that the tracks must negotiate. In the distance, you can see the back part of the train coming down the "dip", while the front end of the train here is climbing up the "rise".
