The daily Denver to Laurel manifest has a C40-8W on the point followed by a pair of SD75Ms. Not long ago, both of those SD75Ms were wearing a Warbonnet scheme. The DENLAU just met the PASSAG (Pasco, WA to Saginaw, TX) at Broomfield and is now proceeding north at dusk. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The first official paint scheme for BNSF after the 1995 merger was the Heritage scheme (now called the Heritage 1, or H1 scheme). You know, in a lot of ways, I think these railfans might just know what they are talking about! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
