Trees and shrubs just west of Pecos are showing off their yellows as a C44-9W leading two SD70ACes on the point of the BNSF Provo-Denver rolls slowly by on Bypass (Main) 2, approaching a diverging approach signal ahead at Pecos Crossover.

The train would normally be on Main 3 (second from the right), but UP's MGJNY arrives just minutes earlier and is working on getting into North Yard. To avoid delaying this train, DS-378 aligned it east on Bypass (Main) 2. At Pecos Crossover, the train will move to Main 3 to continue east to BNSF's 31st Street Yard.

This is the only manifest UP still runs on the Moffat. The cars come from industries in Grand Junction as well as on the Craig Branch. A few coal loads and a lot of covered hoppers are pretty typical for the train, and today is no exception. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It is around 50°F outside, and slowly warming up. It may be the last temperate day for awhile as, starting tomorrow, there is at least a 40% chance for snow all the way until next Sunday.

The Zephyr is running right on time as it charges west on Main 3 (changing to Main 2 here at C&S). Four tracks collapse down to just two when heading westbound here at C&S. The four tracks, from left-to-right, are Bypass (Main) 1, Bypass (Main) 2, Main 3, and the North Yard Siding. The two tracks in the foreground, from left-to-right, are Main 1 and Main 2.

The Zephyr has received all of its releases and will be ready to pull at its scheduled departure time of 8:46am. Note the A-Line and N-Line commuter trains sitting on the tracks to the left.

Photo ID: 111244 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 3, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 161 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF An SD60M and an SD75I, in matching New Image schemes, sit near the engine house in Denver. BNSF 1448 was sported Cascade Green with a white BN herald on the nose. BNSF 290 originally wore the Warbonnet scheme. Very interesting finding these two units together. They are pretty rare in 2024 as most of either model have been in long term storage. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It has been a full decade since I last shot a BNSF SD75I and nine years since I shot a BNSF SD60M! Indeed, I suspect it is the first time I've ever seen these models paired up together.

True, the paint is a bit shoddy, but it is still BN green. An SD40-2 and a former GP30, rebuilt into a GP38-3, hang out near the engine house.
