BNSF announced in early 2006 that they would take delivery of 70 new SD70ACe's from EMD during the year. The first 11 units arrived at the beginning of April. BNSF 9376, fresh out of London, Ontario, was one of the 11 units.

In the near future, this may well be the site on all BNSF coal trains. On the left, an ES44AC sits on the end of a coal train tied down on Main 2 while an SD70ACe sits on the end of a different coal train tied down on Main 3, both at Evans Street in South Denver. The track in the foreground is the southbound track for the Regional Transportation District (RTD's) Light Rail.

A new ES44AC sits as the last Distributed Power Unit on the back of a northbound coal empty at Evans Street on Main 2. The train was tied down awaiting a new crew.

A brand new ES44AC leads a northbound coal train into Denver off the Joint Line near MP 0.5. There is a lot of construction going on in this part of Denver right now!

This Ski Train can finally rest its axles once again! 43 runs since the first run back in late December and the Ski Train has finished another winter season. In a few days, the train will be moved to Burnham for storage and any upgrades that might be planned.
