The train is leaving both Union Pacific tracks and CTC behind as the power moves onto the Buck Lead. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 113055 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, September 14, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 209 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF BNSF 2697 is a former GP35, that has been rebuilt as a GP39-3. You can clearly see where the smaller center radiator fan on the long hood was once located. I suspect it was removed to reduce maintenance costs, as the fan was a different size. I find it interesting that UP got rid of all of their old GP30s and GP35s, while BNSF opted to keep much of the power, simply rebuilding it.

Photo ID: 113054 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, September 14, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 31st Street Yard Denver, CO 219 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF It was a really great day to get some shots of classic EMD power around BNSF's Denver Yard. Here, a former GP30 (rebuilt as a GP39-2, internally) and a former ATSF SD45-2 serve as switching power! The SD45-2 is now designated as an SD40-2R, the 20-cylinder prime mover long since removed and replaced with a 16-cylinder. I am still designating it as an SD45-2 on the website, just for searchability purposes! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Four SD40-2s and a GP40M (originally a GP40-2) all sit on the north side of the BNSF engine house this Sunday afternoon. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Two Cascade Green SD40-2s, a New Image GP40M (originally a GP40-2), and a New Image SD40-2. Crazy to think that this would have been a fairly typical consist for a road train 30-40 years ago. Yet, today, it is all just power for switching the yard and running locals. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Granted, the paint is pretty seriously faded, but it still nice to see. BNSF 1958 was once numbered BN 6351; you can see the old number starting to show through the pain at the tail end of the long hood.

It is numbered MRLX 1659, and it supposedly came from Alamosa, CO. It is headed for a railroad museum in Illinois. It will catch a ride on the back of UP's MNYNP (to North Platte), and be forwarded further east from there. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
