While I realize it may be a bit redundant to post roster shots of all four units, I prefer getting good coverage of units that may be unique and are unlikely to be seen - at least by me - again in the future.

They do have a few key differences, however, such as the bulge sticking up along the top of the long hood, an increased slope on the radiator housing, and new grills along the air intakes.

And when you do, it is quite likely that not all of the units are actually online. Such is the case here, has the last four units (GE ET44ACs) are all Dead In Consist (shut down) for the trip in to Denver.

Not much will slow this train down, as it is the hottest BNSF train that runs in to Denver. On this evening, the train includes a quartet of GE ET44ACs.

The train was looking at a red signal at the west end of Irondale. Despite having my scanner turned on, I never did hear why the dispatcher was holding the train west of Irondale. The train was still sitting there after departing to find other action. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It is noticeably larger and has a greater slope that previous iterations. The single number board in back is somewhat interesting too. Unlike the popular (with BNSF, anyway) ES44C4 - whose axle configuration is A1A-A1A - this prototype has all six axles powered.
