Yard Shots BNSF
This is a unit that you can find in the photo gallery a week ago. However, being one of only five "crew cab" GP50s, it seemed worth while to post another picture of it. The nose on these units was shortened to offer space in the cab for two more crew members.

A peaceful look at some of the power sitting around the engine facility. Looks like BNSF 5396 had some damage repaired recently. The sun really makes the Executive scheme on BNSF 9798 look good...but who the heck left the door open!?

I know this isn't the only picture I have of this unit in the gallery, but this GP10 is one of only a handful left on BNSF's roster. It is a fair bet that it will be retired sooner rather than later, so I grab as many shots of it as I can!

Idling away next to The House, this freshly painted SW1500 shows off its New Image paint scheme. At the time of this image, this was the only SW1500 to receive the New Image scheme.

Yard Shots Union Pacific
The MDVSI-09, which has an SD40T-2 in the consist, pulls east past a GP38-2 and an SD70M. The manifest is built in the yard and then shoved back toward Union Station so the power can be put on. Then, once it has permission from the yardmaster, the train pulls out of the yard toward the Limon Sub to head east to Salina, KS.

With its train built and ready to roll, the MDVSI-09 starts pulling toward the Limon Subdivision. An SD70M leads up a C40-9 (standard cab!) and a former Espee SD40T-2. This is the only (regular) daily manifest that runs on the Limon Subdivision.

Yard Shots Kansas City Southern
A cab shot of KCS 4059 at BNSF's 38th Street Yard. Kansas City Southern ordered 60 new SD70ACes from EMD, and this was the unit from that delivery. KCS has subsequently ordered another 50 SD70ACes that will be numbered 4060 to 4129.

Yard Shots Kansas City Southern
This is the first shot of Kansas City Southern's Retro-Belle scheme on the website here. Came across the freshly painted SD70ACe at BNSF's 38th Street Yard being moved from a fuel track to a ready track.

Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF
This shot offers an interesting comparison of paint schemes. The lead unit - A C44-9W - sports the Heritage 2 scheme. This is still the most dominate BNSF scheme on the railroad. Next up is a second C44-9W, but this units wears the original Heritage scheme. Last but not least is an ES44DC with the New Image scheme. The train is at milepost 4.25 on the Moffat Tunnel Sub.

Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF
A westbound BNSF trackage rights train carries an interesting train symbol with it. The train is the MAKRPVO - the Akron to Provo manifest. First time I had ever heard of this particular train on the Moffat. Sometimes, BNSF will stage trains outside major yards and use the staging location as the originating terminal in the train symbol. I suspect that may have been the case here.

A nice trackside shot of the MPVNY coming down the North Yard Siding as the manifest is near its journey at North Yard.

UP's only daily eastbound manifest on the Moffat, the MPVNY, comes down the North Yard Siding with instructions to tie the train up on Track 3. A coal empty sits on Bypass 1, waiting for a crew to take it west.

Yard Shots Rio Grande
While waiting for a westbound, I came across this classic Rio Grande Jordan Spread - AX-41 - sitting in the storage yard at the north end of North Yard. As far as I know, the spreader hasn't moved since the beginning of the New Year when it was taken to Kansas to help clear the Limon Sub.

The "Apex" of North Yard is located about half way between I-70 and Fox Junction. There is no shortage of coal empties waiting to head west in Denver either! Tracks one and two and the main all have trains on them!

The power for the South Local and the Rocky (West) Local sits on the Third Rail at North Yard. I'll never pass up an opportunity to get a shot of a Rio Grande (even if it is patched) unit sitting in the falling snow!
