A Military Special came into Denver off the Limon Sub overnight. It crossed the Belt Main and entered the Main Track at CP DS002. After pulling down to Fox Junction, the crew on the train was ready to depart south on the Joint Line for Fort Carson. But BNSF wasn't ready for the train! With Amtrak coming, the train had to make a reverse move to get in the clear in the North Yard Siding. That worked out well for me as I got a shot of it backing down the main.

The new bridge over Clear Creek has been completed at C&S Junction. However, rails have not yet been laid over the bridge. Stacks of ties are around, some of which have been laid, but the rail hasn't shown up quite yet.

The former Santa Fe "Yellow Bonnets" are definitely becoming less and less common. While I don't dislike BNSF's New Image scheme, I was always very fond of Santa Fe's paint jobs. Here, a Yellow Bonnet SD40-2 sits with a Heritage I SD40-2 near the house in Denver.

Ten years ago you could count on finding SD70MACs on BNSF's coal train on the Joint Line. While the SD70MACs certainly haven't disappeared completed, ES44ACs and SD70ACes have become far more prevalent. Here, a northbound (about to turn eastbound) coal empty is pulling through the yard.

An interesting combo for yard switching, this former GP30 and an SD40-2 are on the Salt Mine job. I'm quite fond of the matching New Image schemes.

As more and more older units undergo rebuilds, they are also receiving repaints! This former GP30 (which is now a GP39-2 "under the hood") looks pretty sharp in its New Image scheme.

Yard Shots Hollis and Eastern
Here was a very lucky catch of a unit that just happened to be passing through town! This is a GP10 of Illinois Central vintage. More recently, this little unit has served as one of two units on the Hollis Eastern. A railroad in southwestern Oklahoma that has about 13 miles of track total. I don't know why 50% of their motive power was in Denver on this day.

I went ahead and grabbed a roster shot of this AC4400CW, if for no other reason then because I have very few pictures of CSX units on my site! After all, Colorado isn't exactly CSX country...

A very colorful consist leads up BNSF's daily Kansas City to Denver manifest. Among the three BNSF C44-9Ws is a CSX AC4400CW and a Hollis & Eastern GP10!

Definitely a good morning for interesting power in the BNSF yard in Denver! Internally, this is now an SD40-2...however, externally, it still looks exactly like the SD45-2 that it was built as over thirty years ago.

BNSF 2745 was once a GP30 but it has since been rebuilt. Note the fact that the middle radiator fan is missing. It is now a GP39-2R. And, it is paired up with a GP28M.

I have been reading that BNSF has been getting rid of their GP30s (or, former/rebuilt GP30s, as the case may be). However, this former GP30 is looking pretty sharp in the New Image scheme. It is a GP30 in appearance only. It has in fact been rebuilt into a GP39-2M.
