Passing by the lake is a pair of GEs leading BNSF's Lincoln, NE to Denver, CO manifest. The two units have just under 60 cars in tow.

The unit certainly did receive a rather unique patch job on the long hood! But I'll take that patch job over a patch on the cab done with contrasting colors any day.

If you look on the left side of the frame, you can see the tall grain elevator that stands alongside the tracks near the diamond at Sand Creek. Here, nine units (three of them DIC) lead a manifest headed for Lincoln, NE. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

There is a coal load holding the main east of Irondale (the next siding to the west) and, as a result, the local here is approaching a red intermediate, the tail end of the coal load just on the opposite side.

Photo ID: 105106 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, March 14, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed West of Barr Brighton, CO 1769 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Brush (BNSF) BNSF Being an "EMD guy", I really love how reliable old EMDs prove themselves to be. Railroads continue to rebuild and use EMD power that is 40+ years old! Here, the Hudson Turn sports two GP38-2. The first unit receive a repaint after its last rebuild, and sports the New Image scheme. The second units still wears the original Heritage scheme. While subtle, this shot clearly shots that the Heritage scheme did indeed use a very dark green, whereas the New Image scheme just uses black.

The bridge offers a pretty good view of westbounds. Such is the case with this shot of the westbound Hudson Turn. The train entirely consists of tank cars and covered hoppers, and is blocked accordingly. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

BNSF's "stinky slinky" (molten sulfur train), which typically runs on the Front Range Sub, is detouring over UP's Greeley Sub. The Front Range Sub is still out of service after severe flood damage a week earlier. In the distance, UP's switches auto racks at the Rolla auto facility.

Photo ID: 104248 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 1, 2012 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Brighton, CO 2462 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific Not long ago, UP replaced the white frame stripe on UP 2002 with a yellow frame strip. Several years ago, the FRA decided to mandate that all engines have either a yellow frame stripe or a white frame stripe. Personally, I wish UP 2002 had kept its white frame stripe.
