Over a couple of years, MRL would add a total of 29 SD70ACes to their roster. Now, with MRL having been absorbed into BNSF at the start of 2024, MRL's SD70ACes have started to roam the BNSF system. Here, MRL 4305 is a DPU on a southbound coal load. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A hand brake was left on on one of the cars on the train. The conductor released the hand brake and determined the wheels on the car were free-rolling and there was no damage. After walking back up to the head end, it was time to head south. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 110872 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, August 7, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 175 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific In the late 90s, Union Pacific really wanted units with more horsepower. EMD and GE both obliged with their own attempts at a 6000 HP unit. GEs was designed an AC6000CW. UP 6894 was delivered to UP as UP 7006, one of the original GE AC6000CW. The 6000 HP units were plagued with issues, and the attempts were eventually ditched. Today, UP 6894 has been rebuilt (internally) with a 4400 HP prime mover and is designated as a C44ACM.

The unit has spent a lot of time leading oil trains between Wash, UT and destination to the east. However, rumor has it that its 92-day inspection is due. Since that can no longer be conducted in Denver, the unit will likely go to North Platte, NE on the MNYNP. From there? Who can say...

BNSF 2549 is a GP39-3, rebuilt from a GP30. You can still see the GP30 dynamic brake intakes and two of the three radiator fans. Back in the distance on the next track over, you can see what was once an SD45-2, now an SD40-2. The power is sitting at the shop, just off of the main through Denver.

Considering it has two JB Hunt double stacks, it seems possible this was cut out of the Denver to Chicago Z-Train. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
