Photo ID: 105405 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, August 9, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 48th Avenue Denver, CO 1985 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Brush (BNSF) Kansas City Southern (ALL), BNSF A new signal that is not yet active as been installed at the east end of BNSF's Denver Yard. This signal, once put in service, will dictate train movement into the yard from the main track (or just continuing down the main track). I wasn't thrilled with the lighting in this shot, but decided it was worth it with the KCS Retro-Belle in the shot. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 105404 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, August 9, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 48th Avenue Denver, CO 1962 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Brush (BNSF) BNSF A BNSF SD70ACe and a KCS ES44AC lead a westbound coal load down the main just outside BNSF's Denver Yard. BNSF is sinking some money in the east end of the yard in 2015. The tracks called "Coal 1" and "Coal 2" (where westbound coal train will typically stop to recrew) are being extended. They will be long enough to support 140-car trains when construction is complete. As part of the construction, a new signal bridge has been installed! The signal on the left will be for the main and the other two signals for Coal 1 and Coal 2. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train is on Main 2 and approaching a clear signal at C&S Junction. Although it will remain on the same physical train at C&S, it will switch from Main 2 to Main 3 and continue down to Prospect Jct where it will return to BNSF.

Multiple seconds were in a row along the passenger lead. Meanwhile, hostlers work to re-position BNSF 5603. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 105175 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, May 3, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 1571 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF In order to make room for newly arriving units, BNSF has moved its SD60Ms to a new spot on the roster. BNSF usually does a pretty good job of patching units to match their present paint scheme. A bit of an exception would be the "1448" patch, seemingly done quite hastily here (in black) on the cab of this SD60M. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A GP20 for the South Plains Lamesa Railroad sits near BNSF's Engine House, waiting to head south on the Joint Line and be returned to its home.

The GP20 is owned by South Plains Lamesa Railroad. This is a shortline with four GP20s, a GP20u, a CF7, and a pair of GP9s, located in Slaton, TX, southeast of Lubbock, TX.

This ex-ATSF GP20 is now owned by the South Plains Lamesa Railroad in Texas. While it has been on the roster for over a decade, it was just recently repainted in the scheme seen here.

Just a sharp looking ES44AC that seemed to merit a nice roster shot. While I love action shots, I also enjoy collected roster shots of an many units as I can. 30 years from now, this will be a classic shot of a unit that likely will either have been retired, or is being used on locals and in switching!

Photo ID: 105170 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, May 3, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 31st Street Yard Denver, CO 1564 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF BNSF's SD60Ms have disappeared from and reappeared on the system a couple times over the last 15 years. When business has slowed and there has been a surplus of power, the SD60Ms have been put in storage. With the recent boom in oil, virtually all stored power has been put back on the active roster. Here, a pair of SD60Ms (recently patched in to the 1400-series) is moved toward the engine house by some yard hostlers. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Classic switch engines are being retired by UP more frequently. This MP15AC was one of the lucky one to go through a rebuild program (and is now designated an MP15N) and should hang around for awhile longer.

For years after the UP/SP merger, you could count on finding at least a little bit of scarlet and gray in shots like this. Those days are pretty much behind us at this point, as Armour Yellow is the paint scheme of decade. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
