This unit, BNSF 4706, is one of the few that actually received the warbonnet scheme with "BNSF" lettering after the merger, prior to the original Heritage scheme being decided upon.

This grade crossing is a quite zone now; trains need not user their horns. The crossing is protected by "quad gates", preventing cars from swerving around a single gate. The train is on Main 1. The shot was taken from above BNSF Golden Sub. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Between C&S Junction and Fox Junction, BNSF trains run on UP's main. It is also the only real section of track that crews operating on BNSF's Golden Sub have to run in CTC limits. Meanwhile, a UP oil empty heads west on Main 1. when RTD constructed their G-Line along the UP right-of-way, UP received money to add a second main track between C&S Junction and Arvada. Main 2 is the newer track, indicated by the concrete ties. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The outbound crew on this oil train had to do exactly that when they got to North Yard. They went on duty at 9:50am, and it is now 2:50pm. So the crew has been on duty for five hours before actually departing west. They have seven hours to make it to Bond. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A new crew was called at 9:50am. Upon arriving at North Yard, the crew had to pull power off the train and replace it with new power. UP got rid of all of its hostlers a few years ago, so crews have to shuttle power around themselves. In this shot, the outbound crew is taking three units and putting it back on their train in preparation to head west. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
