Even though it is only sitting in the yard, I decided to go ahead and add a shot. The unit is continuing to run nights on the MNYPU/MPUNY between Denver and Pueblo.

Rennicks is BNSF's intermodal hub in Denver, seen in the background. The track only half visible on the left side of the picture (at the bottom) is UP's mainline. The track to the right of that is BNSF's mainline. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The newer units have isolated cabs similar to the SD70MAC's from ten year ago. I have heard some crew members say that the cabs of the non-isolated SD70ACe's can be louder than SD40-2's!

Today, the units still wear (most of) their original paint. A few EMD logos have been added (as BN returned them to EMD). EMDX 9501 is sitting here at the House in Denver, waiting to head north toward Seattle. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

When first developing AC traction motors, EMD used four SD60M's as prototypes, creating the only SD60MACs ever created. The units were delivered to Burlington Northern as BN 9500 to BN 9503. The units were ultimately returned to EMD and are typically found at the testing facility outside Pueblo. Here, EMDX 9501 is headed north toward the Seattle area for unknown reasons.

Photo ID: 101830 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, January 19, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 36th Street Yard Denver, CO 1888 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific These two steam engines - buried in UP's 36th Street Yard - have had quite a trip from Oregon to Denver. They are ultimately headed for the San Louis & Rio Grande in Alamosa. The SLRG will use them on their tourist (passenger) trains. The steam engines original came to Denver via the Moffat, but got held at Winter Park because of clearance problems through the tunnel. So, they went back to Salt Lake and around through Wyoming. Here they sit, waiting to be moved over to North Yard and placed on the MNYPU. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This westbound manifest (the MDENPVO-01) is smoking a bit as it departs westbound. The train consists largely of tank cars coming from the Suncor Refinery in Commerce City. Not the train passing through the High-Wide detector right at the front of the final string of tank cars. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101815 Date Shot Photo By Monday, December 31, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 38th Street Denver, CO 2086 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF I included this roster shot because this C44-9W recently received BNSF's New Image scheme. I happened to catch this same unit on the Joint Line in January 2006, and it was in the H2 scheme on that day. The unit was involved in a head-on collision (and completely destroyed) in June 2006 and was rebuilt in Mexico in June 2007.
