A rare visitor to the Denver area, Illinois Central SD40-2R (without dynamic breaks) 6003 sits near the house in BNSF's yard. Although it appears to be an SD40, it has been rebuilt to dash 2 standards/electronics.

Sitting tied down just outside 36th street yard on the Greeley Sub, I found this former Espee snoot nose tunnel motor. It is now a leaser unit with the reporting marks GECX 8359.

A derailment on the triple track main in Nebraska resulted in several trains being rerouted through Colorado. One such train was this unit [empty] auto rack train. In this shot, the train is on the approach to Mesa.

A roster shot of UP 8861 (ex-SP 8269) in the siding at Sable. This unit was patched by UP almost five years prior to this picture on June 12, 2001.

Sitting tied down in the siding at Sable, UP 8861 (a patched Espee SD40T-2) leads this extra intermodal train, which has been in the siding waiting for a new crew for nearly 36 hours!

Although it is largely obscured by equipment, one of the few unpatched Espee units in the world (103 units at the time of this posting) sits near the fuel tracks in North Yard.

A look at the back end of a brand new SD70ACe. This unit arrived on BNSF in Chicago (from London, Ontario where it was assembled by EMD) on April 3, 2006.

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.

A close look at the cabs of two brand new units. BNSF 5851 was delivered within the last six months and BNSF 9376 came onto the property in early April.

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!

With its 67th season in the books, the Ski Train rests on track two at Denver Union Station. Note the wonderful painting of the Rio Grande SD45s hanging on the wall in the Kansas!

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.
