Off in the distance, there is very little snow on the peaks of the Colorado Rockies as the fall has been very temperate this year.

Moving forward, the Limon Local will still run on Wednesdays. But the MNYSG will handle setting out cars in Limon as well, reducing the need for the local to run as frequently.

So, I was really happy to nab this shot of a BNSF GP39-2 (still painted in "Yellowbonnet") with a former-Santa Fe SD45-2B sitting in North Yard in the distance, waiting to be moved to Iowa. BNSF 2854 is switching some intermodal cars around at Rennicks. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 113398 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, November 29, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 64 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots SPTX One of the more interesting units to have ever existed! B-units were tried by various railroads at various times since the introduction of diesel-electric locomotives. Such units have a prime mover and traction motors, but simply lack a cab. This means they can only be controlled when they are in a consist with another unit (or units). EMD never produced an SD45-2B (seen here); rather, Santa Fe did a conversion program themselves that removed the cab from eight SD45-2s, creating B-units. I am not sure exactly what the reason was for doing this. If anyone reading this caption is aware of the reason, feel free to leave a comment!

As a kid of the 1980s, I remember seeing a few SD45-2Bs when my dad would take me out train chasing. It was really cool to see ex-ATSF 5703 here in North Yard, waiting to be moved to Iowa, hopefully for restoration. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
