Photo ID: 111309 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 17, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 176 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF This shot is just an overview shot of BNSF's engine house and facilities. Unlike UP, which has moved all but the most minor of maintenance out of Denver, BNSF still does some more substantial maintenance on engines here in Denver. How cool it would be to see this exact same perspective 40 years ago... Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 111307 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 17, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 212 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF I've probably made this comment before on another picture, but it still never ceases to amaze me just how many Warbonnets are still on the rails in 2024. And, in addition, just how many of them are still in pretty decent shape, considering it has been around thirty years since any of them were painted.

BNSF took control of MRL at the start of 2024. Since then, the MRL power has been scattered across the BNSF system, being assigned to trains like any other BNSF unit. However, the MRL units are not (yet) equipped with PTC, so they, sadly, never on the point of a train. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 111244 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 3, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 312 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF An SD60M and an SD75I, in matching New Image schemes, sit near the engine house in Denver. BNSF 1448 was sported Cascade Green with a white BN herald on the nose. BNSF 290 originally wore the Warbonnet scheme. Very interesting finding these two units together. They are pretty rare in 2024 as most of either model have been in long term storage. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

True, the paint is a bit shoddy, but it is still BN green. An SD40-2 and a former GP30, rebuilt into a GP38-3, hang out near the engine house.

There are actually typically more units sitting here, but things are a bit light on this Sunday morning. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 110830 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, August 4, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 303 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF 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.

Considering it has two JB Hunt double stacks, it seems possible this was cut out of the Denver to Chicago Z-Train. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Of course, both these units are now owned by CPKC, the first (and so far only) railroad to span from Canada to Mexico. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 110827 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, August 4, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 221 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF 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.

Additionally, BNSF tends to have more power hanging out in Denver compared to UP. As seen here, the service and ready tracks around the shops are packed full of power.

KCS 4548 is actually a KCS de Mexico unit, and one of the few-remaining gray units on the roster. Of course, both units are now under the CPKC banner and, eventually, will be repainted accordingly.

I don't see a lot of these units in Denver, and with the CPKC merger, it is only a matter of time before this paint scheme fades in to history.

The commuter train is nearing the end of its southbound journey at Denver Union Station. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

However, you can still find them here and there. BNSF 9709 is one such example, sitting near the engine house in Denver. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
