Photo ID: 103564 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, October 27, 2010 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 1 Denver, CO 1809 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF BNSF's Buck Local heads south on the BNSF "New North Main" alongside the UP Main. The local has just come down off the Front Range Sub and is headed for the yard. It is going to have to stop for a bit though due to traffic ahead blocking its way. I love that in 2010, you can still find a blue and yellow GP60 and a Heritage GP38-2 working together on a train. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 103563 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, October 27, 2010 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 1 Denver, CO 2252 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Utah Railway This GP38 (still in the body of a GP35) was the fourth unit on BNSF's Provo to Denver train. After being dropped off in Denver, the unit would depart the following day on BNSF's Denver to Galesburg, IL manifest. This is a Utah Railway unit that I had always wanted to shoot but never got the chance in Utah. How ironic that I was finally able to capture in right in my own back yard in Denver! Rumor has it that the unit is off to Panama City, FL where it will be upgraded (rebuilt) as a GP38-3. Utah Railway sister unit UTAH 2000 is apparently there and being rebuilt as of this picture. So it would seem that UTAH 2002 will be returning to Utah Railway, but I guess only time will tell for sure. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

When I left home in Arvada, the train was just leaving Leyden. Considering rush hour traffic, I was shocked I got to Fox in time to get this shot...granted I got there with less that 30 seconds to spare!

The dynamic brake intake is very unique. Here, a GP60 (with an animated and friendly engineer!) leads the Buck Local down the Front Range Sub into Denver.

A new temporary platform is being built a few hundred yards east of the current platform as seen in this shot. Amtrak will probably back in to the (existing) Track 1 for the last time in early 2011.
