The GP20 is owned by South Plains Lamesa Railroad. This is a shortline with four GP20s, a GP20u, a CF7, and a pair of GP9s, located in Slaton, TX, southeast of Lubbock, TX. The unit is being returned to the SLAL after receiving a fresh paint job. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This ex-ATSF GP20 is now owned by the South Plains Lamesa Railroad in Texas. While it has been on the roster for over a decade, it was just recently repainted in the scheme seen here.

Photo ID: 105171 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, May 3, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 1225 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF Nothing too special here. Just a sharp looking ES44AC that seemed to merit a nice roster shot. While I love action shots, I also enjoy collected roster shots of an many units as I can. 30 years from now, this will be a classic shot of a unit that likely will either have been retired, or is being used on locals and in switching!

Photo ID: 105034 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, March 1, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 1407 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots CSX I realize this is the third picture showing these CSX units sitting in BNSF's yard. The reason I wanted to add this one is I found the (former) SOO unit in the background an interesting addition. CSX and SOO, two railroads that don't (or didn't) operate anywhere near Colorado, both represented in this single shot in Denver!

In some instances, the change had to be done rather hastily! Such is the case with the B40-8, formerly in the 8600-series. Some quick number boards and an interesting red and white patch on the cab moved this unit in to the 500-series. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This shot does a nice job of comparing and contrasting CSX's older "Gray" scheme (on the C40-8) with their newer "Dark Future" scheme (on the ex-Conrail SD60I).

Photo ID: 105031 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, March 1, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Arvada, CO 1468 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF Has there ever been (or will there ever be) an engine as amazing as the SD40-2? With very few exceptions, every railroad in the United States, Canada, and Mexico owned at least a few SD40-2s. And now, 40 years later, railroads are still rebuilding them and keeping them on the roster. Granted they are used for switching and local work more often than in mainline service now, but it still cool to see them on the rail. How much longer will that last?

CSX units don't show up in Denver all that often...and when they do, the typically are not standard cab GE units. However, on this snowy March 1st, a CSX C40-8 was among the BNSF units near BNSF's engine house in Denver. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 104859 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 30, 2014 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 1478 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF With the recent surge in the rail industry, Class 1 railroads have been pulling out all the stops and reactivating older power. BNSF activated (and renumbered) their SD75Ms and SD75Is, the majority of which still wear the Warbonnet scheme. One such example is BNSF 205 (which, until recently, was BNSF 8205), seen here in Denver on a cold final day in November. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The scheme, and the "Heritage 2" scheme, were both developed as tributes to the Great Northern, one of the original railroads that merged to form Burlington Northern.

Photo ID: 104856 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 30, 2014 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 1303 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF Ten years ago, the C44-9W (AKA Dash 9-44CW) was king of BNSF's roster. They had more of these on the roster than any other model. Today, the ES44DC and ES44AC (including the ES44C4) reign king. Good to see the paint scheme still in pretty great shape here on BNSF 4078.

Typically, there are several units there being serviced. On this Sunday, however, just a single SD40-2 sits idling away, awaiting assignment.
