Burlington Northern leased all 100 units on a long-term basis. EMD 9000 to EMD 9099 are still on BNSF's roster twenty years after being delivered. Here, the last of the 100 units, EMD 9099, is seen through the supports for Park Avenue West near the house. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101098 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, December 9, 2006 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 38th Street Denver, CO 1888 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF When BNSF was first formed in 1995, the new railroad went through several experimental paint schemes while on the path to the eventual Heritage scheme. Most of these experimental or temporary schemes have been replaced. However, BNSF 2911 still wears a rather unique scheme. A slightly off-green paint was used to cover up the old herald and number. The unit is currently assigned as the Golden Switcher. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

BNSF still had a supply a reflective decals and they wanted to dispose of them by applying them to engines rather than simply throwing them away. BNSF 7728 is one such example.

Such is the case with UP 1349 which, up until May 16, 2005, was DRGW 3128. On this December morning, the unit was sitting alone on the ready tracks north of the fueling tracks.

A close second is the (very similar) scheme of the 100 "Oakway" SD60 leased to Burlington Northern in the late 1980's. Those units are still on the BNSF today, in relatively good condition!

The Union Station redevelopment project is going to call for the "commuter tracks" - including Amtrak and the Ski Train - to be lower under ground level within the next five to ten years.

Not as much power as there sometimes is at the shops, but a nice splattering of color anyway. This shot was taken from the Park Avenue West overpass.
