Photo ID: 101744 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, December 1, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 38th Street Denver, CO 1793 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF Earlier in the week, a pair of cascade green SD60Ms took a work train down the Front Range Sub. I wasn't able to shoot the train on the main, but I did find the power sitting near the house in BNSF's yard. The units have barely been touched from the original BN paint. Just a small "BNSF" on the cab of each unit. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Since the SD70ACe is more like its sibling the SD70MAC inside (even though it looks more like is cousing, the SD90MAC on the outside), hopefully this unit will be around for many years to come.

Photo ID: 101723 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 25, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 38th Street Denver, CO 1819 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF BNSF has a track that connects the north end of Rennicks to the north end of 38th Street. Before today, I had never seen the track used (although I'm sure it is used regularly). The track runs on the south side of 48th Street under I-25, around the north end of a park, then across Washington Street and the Platte River and into the yard. Here, a transfer holds near National Western Drive at a red flag, waiting for authority to come into the yard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This train is coming out of 36th Street on the Limon Subdivision. UP hopes that in the not-to-distant future, the CRIP (Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific) line between the Belt Industrial Lead and Sandown Junction will be restored. If and when that happens, coal trains will no longer traverse this section of track. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
