There is a little more work to do once commuter rail is ready to actually commence. You can see the tail end of Track 8 on the left as well as Tracks 4 and 5 over to the right (the latter two used for non-commuter trains such as Amtrak).

My daughter Bella seems to be getting more interested in photography. Here, she is borrowing my Canon Digital Rebel XT to nab a shot of some light power in BNSF's yard.

Photo ID: 104902 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, December 14, 2014 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 31st Street Yard Denver, CO 1743 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF The ES44C4 has become extremely popular on BNSF. In the last three years, nearly 1,000 of these units has appeared on BNSF property! The unit is different from an ES44AC in that it only has four traction motors. The center axles on both trucks are not powered, giving this unit an A1A-A1A configuration rather than a C-C configuration. This results in a unit similar to a four-axle unit, but with the weight distributed over six axles. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

However, the day will come when these units can only be found in museums and the next generation of railfans will long for the day when such a shot was possible!

With the recent need for power, Class 1 railroads seem to be sharing more power among themselves. This SD75I is one of 172 such units on Canadian National's roster.

Hostlers were moving three units, which included this Warbonnet SD75I, from the yard to the engine house. When BNSF reactivated their SD75Ms and SD75Is, they also renumbered them in order to make room for new delivers. The new numbers actually reflect the original numbers when the units were delivered to Santa Fe. In the case above, BNSF 282.

Rather than getting the typical patch on the cab, "Santa Fe" on the long hood was painted over with this not-so-standard patch (in a not-so-standard font).

The train is pulling out of track 31 in BNSF's yard, preparing to double over to track 32 before departing toward the Golden Sub. Note the winterization hatch covering the radiator fan furthest forward. This was a common feature on SOO units. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

In the background, you can see a new commuter rail bridge which is nearing construction. The commuter rail will serve the "Gold Line", running from Union Station in Denver out to Arvada and Wheat Ridge northwest of Denver. The track is also passing underneath UP's North Yard Bypass tracks (primarily used by coal trains). Up and to the right, you can see UP's Moffat Tunnel Sub mainline and North Yard siding.

Photo ID: 104859 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 30, 2014 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 1943 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF With the recent surge in the rail industry, Class 1 railroads have been pulling out all the stops and reactivating older power. BNSF activated (and renumbered) their SD75Ms and SD75Is, the majority of which still wear the Warbonnet scheme. One such example is BNSF 205 (which, until recently, was BNSF 8205), seen here in Denver on a cold final day in November. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The scheme, and the "Heritage 2" scheme, were both developed as tributes to the Great Northern, one of the original railroads that merged to form Burlington Northern.

Photo ID: 104856 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 30, 2014 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 1523 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF Ten years ago, the C44-9W (AKA Dash 9-44CW) was king of BNSF's roster. They had more of these on the roster than any other model. Today, the ES44DC and ES44AC (including the ES44C4) reign king. Good to see the paint scheme still in pretty great shape here on BNSF 4078.
