Yard Shots BNSF
At the northeast end of BNSF's 31st Street Yard, BNSF 1660 and BNSF 1590 work to break down a train, switching cars from the train on to different tracks, organizing them toward either their next destination (if not in Denver), or their final destination (if a local will deliver them in Denver).

Two light units sit, awaiting their next yard assignment. Two others currently work the "Salt Mine" job, switching cars in the yard, working to build new trains.

A handful of 2nd generation EMDs hang out near the engine shops as a coal load waits to head south toward the Joint Line and a yard job shoves cars back toward the yard.

Several dozen units sit at "The House", BNSF's engine shop in Denver, awaiting their next assignment. This is an area that has changed significantly in the past few years. Among other things, RTD's N-Line from Denver Union Station to Thornton, CO has been completed, as seen on the right side of the frame.

A freshly rebuilt, freshly painted BNSF GP60M-3. This unit was rebuilt by Morrison-Knudsen. Always great to get a picture of a freshly painted unit.

It appears as though BNSF may have recently replaced a bridge, most likely the one over the South Platte River between the engine house and the yard. Multiple seconds were in a row along the passenger lead. Meanwhile, hostlers work to re-position BNSF 5603.

BNSF's SD60Ms have disappeared from and reappeared on the system a couple times over the last 15 years. When business has slowed and there has been a surplus of power, the SD60Ms have been put in storage. With the recent boom in oil, virtually all stored power has been put back on the active roster. Here, a pair of SD60Ms (recently patched in to the 1400-series) is moved toward the engine house by some yard hostlers.

She may be 12, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't still like spending a few hours with dad every once in awhile! My daughter Bella seems to be getting more interested in photography. Here, she is borrowing my Canon Digital Rebel XT to nab a shot of some light power in BNSF's yard.

The ES44C4 has become extremely popular on BNSF. In the last three years, nearly 1,000 of these units has appeared on BNSF property! The unit is different from an ES44AC in that it only has four traction motors. The center axles on both trucks are not powered, giving this unit an A1A-A1A configuration rather than a C-C configuration. This results in a unit similar to a four-axle unit, but with the weight distributed over six axles.

Yeah, so this may be just a boring roster shot of a boring UP AC4400CW. However, the day will come when these units can only be found in museums and the next generation of railfans will long for the day when such a shot was possible!

Yard Shots Canadian National
For the second time in a week, I caught a Canadian National unit spending some time on BNSF. With the recent need for power, Class 1 railroads seem to be sharing more power among themselves. This SD75I is one of 172 such units on Canadian National's roster.

This snowy December afternoon was a good day for finding Warbonnets around town. Hostlers were moving three units, which included this Warbonnet SD75I, from the yard to the engine house. When BNSF reactivated their SD75Ms and SD75Is, they also renumbered them in order to make room for new delivers. The new numbers actually reflect the original numbers when the units were delivered to Santa Fe. In the case above, BNSF 282.

This former Santa Fe Warbonnet has one of the more interesting patch jobs out there. Rather than getting the typical patch on the cab, "Santa Fe" on the long hood was painted over with this not-so-standard patch (in a not-so-standard font).

This SD40-2 is running on what used to be home rails! It started life as BN 7103 before being sold to Helm Leasing, becoming HLCX 7103. It later went to CIT Rail Resources as CEFX 7103 before being repainted and renumbered to CEFX 3181.

BNSF was leasing this ex-SOO SD60, now owned by CIT Rail Resources, and put it on the point of "Beer Run". The train is pulling out of track 31 in BNSF's yard, preparing to double over to track 32 before departing toward the Golden Sub. Note the winterization hatch covering the radiator fan furthest forward. This was a common feature on SOO units.
