This southbound train with very unique power is tied down in the siding at North Yard in Fort Collins (right at milepost 76)! A Great Western crew brought the train to this point (it was interchanged from the Great Western). A BNSF crews has been called out of Cheyenne and was enroute at the time of this picture. Upon arrival, the crew would untie the train and take it to Denver.

Canadian National has a fair number of "cowl" units, meaning the walkways along the sides of the unit are inside the car body rather than outside. Internally this unit is simply a GE C40-8. Since it has the cowl body, it is designated as a C40-8M.

Notice anything special about this Warbonnet? How about the fact that there isn't a "BNSF" patch visible anywhere on the engineer's side! Not sure why there isn't one, but I'm not complaining about a Warbonnet that looks to be "pure Santa Fe" in 2014, 19 years after the creation of BNSF.

You want to talk about and interesting power combination on an interesting train! A Warbonnet matched up with a Canadian Nations C40-8M (a cowl unit), sitting together on a "blade train" (windmill blades) in the siding at North Yard. A Great Western crew just brought this train from the Vestas plant in Windsor, CO and tied it down here on the siding at North Yard.
