AMTK 160 has that unique scheme applied to it. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

And, due to severe weather and other factors, it is departing Denver and returning to Chicago. A rare morning departure from Denver to head east. The train is on the Passenger Lead, passing by BNSF's engine house. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Typically, that means one of them is running extraordinarily late, and this morning is no exception. The train in the foreground, led by AMTK 146, arrived a few hours ago as #5. However, it was a 22 hours late #5! And, due to extreme weather, it is returning east as #6, departing on the Passenger Lead. Today's #5 is now arriving in the background, making a reverse move toward Union Station on the Buck Lead. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

With the merger of Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern, the new railroad, CPKC, is starting to repaint its motive power. It will certainly take years, but eventually, this Canadian Pacific paint scheme will fade into the history books. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A former Santa Fe SD45-2B and a former Amtrak F40PH are both being moved from California to Iowa. Neither is currently operational, and are being moved "DIC" (Dead-In-Consist). They will be transferred from BNSF to UP here in Denver to continue on to Iowa. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

However, finding it on this retired F40PH is not something I am complaining about! The unit is on its way to Middletown, IA from Anaheim, CA.

Photo ID: 113387 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, November 26, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 153 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots SPTX A look at the engineer's side...such as it is, considering there is no cab...of this SD45-2B. It was pretty fantastic seeing a unit wearing Santa Fe blue and yellow in 2025. Particularly a unit as unique as this one! These B-units were not built by EMD, but were modifications made by Santa Fe. Santa Fe removed the cabs and created the B-units. A total of eight such B-units were created from SD45-2s. One thing worth noting is that some people confuse a B-unit with a slug. A slug has no prime mover, but still has traction motors with power for the motors supplied by other units in its consist. A B-unit still has its prime mover, but simply has no cab and therefore cannot be controlled unless in an MU-consist with other units.

Photo ID: 113386 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, November 26, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 166 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Amtrak This is quite an incredible catch that I lucked into the day before Thanksgiving. This was the very last F40PH (actually, an F40PHR) delivered to Amtrak by EMD. The units were numbered 200 to 409, and were the backbone of the long distance trains on Amtrak through the 1980s and most of the 1990s. As you can see, AMTK 409 is sporting Amtrak's Phase 4 paint scheme. After being retired by Amtrak in 2001, the unit spent years in storage in Bear, DE before being sold to BUGX in private ownership and moved to Anaheim, CA. Here, it is on its way to Middletown, IA, possibly for cosmetic restoration. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This particular unit was originally delivered to Santa Fe in the Warbonnet scheme. In the early 1990s, Santa Fe often ran high priority intermodal trains with an A-B-B-A GP60 set.
