BNSF 559 (a B40-8W), NS 9655 (a C44-9CW), and BNSF 6354 (an SD40-2) site parallel to each other near the BNSF engine facility in Denver, CO. Some people speculate that BNSF and NS will merge sometime in the near future.

Yard Shots BNSF
There are suprisingly large number of ex-BN SD60M's still left in green paint (with the BN "white face"). This SD60M, with tri-window setup, only has a small "BNSF" on the side of the cab.

The most immediate heritage of the BNSF: A former Burlington Northern GP39-2 and a former Santa Fe B23-7 move in parallel, switching in BNSF's 38th street yard in Denver.

Golden (BNSF) Burlington Northern
There are two "Beer Runs" each day for a total of four trains (two out of Golden, two into Golden). Today, the first beer run is holding west of Tennyson Street. The train is waiting for the MNYPH, which is about to leave C&S Jct. The hoppers to the right are sitting on the relatively new "Arvada Siding".

The "Beer Run", which runs between Denver and the Coors Factory in Golden, has some interesting power on it right now. First up is this GP60M, with a small "BNSF" patch on the nose.

Pecos Street will soon run under the tracks here near Utah Junction so traffic is not stopped for tens of minutes (or more) at a time while coal trains cut the crossing. UP 8120 is on Bypass One and will cut the crossing before tying the train down.

MP 634 is near the location of what was once Stapleton International Airport. This coal empty is working its way west on the last four miles of its track warrant. It will wind up on "Bypass One" and cut Pecos Street near North Yard.

Limon (UP) Union Pacific
Back when the Rock Island was still in existance, the railroad had trackage rights on the UP from Limon, CO to Sandown Junction, just east of Denver. From there, The Rock would takes its own tracks to the Belt Line to interchange with the Rio Grande in North Yard. Today, all that remains of Sandown Junction is this sign just east of Ulster Street along the KP main. However, it is rumored that the line from the Belt to Sandown will rise again to carry coal traffic!

Yard Shots BNSF
Not long ago, Burlington Northern used SD9's to switch (or in local service) in almost every yard in the country (or so it seemed). Today, finding an SD9 is rather rare. This BNSF SD9 was switching in BNSF's 38th street yard on a beautiful Sunday morning.

UP's Roydale Local, which heads east out of the 36th street yard on the Limon Subdivision, prepares to depart the yard. DS-86 has just given the train a track warrant to proceed east and perform their work. The power consists for two ex-SP (SSW) GP40-2's, a UP GP38M-3, and a UP GP38-2. The Quest building stands tall in the Denver skyline in the background.

Yard Shots TFM
Making a rather rare appearance in Denver, a TFM (Transportation Ferroviria Mexicana) SD70MAC is tied to a BNSF SD40-2 near the engine house at BNSF's 31st street shops. The TFM paint scheme is very close to that of the current Kansas City Southern scheme, as TFM is now a subsidiary of KCS.

BNSF 2800, a former GP30 now listed on the roster as a GP39M, leads up a yard transfer that is moving a very long string of intermodal containers from the Rennicks Intermodal Facility (near UP's North Yard) into BNSF's 38th street classification yard.
