Here is a wide variety of classic EMD units, most of which have been rebuilt to one extent or another. BNSF 2549 is a GP39-3, rebuilt from a GP30. You can still see the GP30 dynamic brake intakes and two of the three radiator fans. Back in the distance on the next track over, you can see what was once an SD45-2, now an SD40-2. The power is sitting at the shop, just off of the main through Denver.

I have long appreciated the fact that, when patching old Santa Fe and Burlington Northern units, BNSF matched the color scheme for the patches. Unlike UP, which simply slapped a yellow and red patch on the cabs. Nearly 30 years after the BNSF merger, a blue and yellow GP39-2 is seen hanging out around the Denver yard.

An overview of BNSF's engine facility in Denver on a sunny Tuesday morning. Even in 2023, it is still not uncommon to find patched BN or ATSF units that still bear their green and black or blue and yellow colors. Not the case today, however, as the scene is entirely dominated by the BNSF orange that has been the standard for decades.

The process Amtrak must go through to make its station stop in Denver is rather involved. Multiple tracks and dispatchers are involved. Union Station has "stub tracks", meaning there is only an exit in one direction. Consequently, the Zephyr must back in to the station. Here, the morning Zephyr is backing down the Buck Lead by BNSF's engine facility, underneath Park West Avenue. Note Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies, in front of the Denver skyline.
