The CP paint scheme is, of course, one that will be disappearing in the months and years to come after the merger of Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern, creating CPKC.

Once the Z-train, which is clipping along at 50+ MPH, clears the east switch, the Q-train will get a light to proceed east.

The train on the main is the ZCHIDEN, which is the highest priority train that BNSF has in the state of Colorado. So, no surprise that the Q-train is the train in the siding.

Photo ID: 113880 Date Shot Photo By Monday, May 25, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Tonville Weld County, CO 1 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Brush (BNSF) BNSF A brand new Boeing 737-8 MAX sits on on a flat car (without its wings, of course) on an eastbound Q-train in the siding at Tonville. The fuselage is headed to the Boeing assembly plant at Renton, southeast of Seattle, for final assembly. Interestingly, in this shot, an American Airlines plane is on final approach at Denver International Airport. It was too far away to identify, but if it is a 737, there is a good chance its fuselage may have once been on a train, right here at Tonville as well!

In the middle of winter, the Zephyr emerges from the Moffat Tunnel in the last rays of sunlight (when on time). This time of year, the train is well out onto the plains before the sun disappears.

The Zephyr kinda snuck up on me as I was expecting the Q-train to meet the westbound Z-train (and that it would meet #6 at Barr). However, #6 got out of town in a hurry, and here we are!

The train is making track speed on the trip south, making it very hard to catch up to for subsequent shots. Turns out this would be the last shot in daylight before the sun would set anyway.
