It's been a few years since I last saw a GP60M (just over five years, to be exact), so it was a bit of a treat to catch one in Denver this afternoon. BNSF has been doing some rebuild work on these units, and indeed, this unit is now designated as a GP60M-3.

A number of colorful units were hanging out around BNSF's engine house this morning. Among them was this MRL SD70ACe. Now owned by BNSF after the acquisition of MRL at the start of 2024, MRL units are showing up in Denver relatively frequently.

There were a number of power sharing units in Denver this afternoon, including this "catfish", a Norfolk Southern ES44AC. The term "catfish" for NS units comes from the white striping on the nose and the black overall color of the unit, giving a bit of a catfish look.

This was the best angle I could get on this Savannah and Atlanta heritage unit, as it sat near BNSF's engine facility in Denver. Would have preferred a shot that included the nose, but you take what you can get! Was cool also getting the Canadian Pacific unit in the shot as well!

Unfortunately, this Savannah and Atlanta NS heritage unit was spotted in darn near the worst possible location on the engine tracks at BNSF's facility in Denver. The power pole and wires made on one side, and string of BNSF units on the adjacent track on the conductor's side, made it impossible to get a "clean" shot of the unit. Still, I was glad I had the opportunity to get a few shots.

It is not particularly often that Norfolk Southern units make their way to the Denver area. It does happened occasionally when power sharing is happening. I was lucky enough to catch the Savannah and Atlanta heritage unit, sitting amongst a bevy of other units near the BNSF engine shop. This is the first NS heritage unit I have actually shot in 11 years! The unit came in on the Valmy, NV bound coal load, but was removed for fueling. It's possible it could be added to the train for the trip west to Nevada.

A pretty decent looking warbonnet, particularly for 2025, sits amongst a sea of orange, waiting for its next assignment. This unit, BNSF 4706, is one of the few that actually received the warbonnet scheme with "BNSF" lettering after the merger, prior to the original Heritage scheme being decided upon.

Considering how time marches on and things continue to change, I always figure it is a good idea to get shots of some of the Denver rail infrastructure. 20 years from now, this could all be apartments...

In 2016, the Regional Transportation District (RTD) started construction on the "N-Line". A commuter rail line connecting Denver Union Station with the suburbs of Commerce City, Thornton, and Northglenn. In this shot, an N-Line commuter train slows on the overpass alongside BNSF's engine house.

A handful of units sit on the north side of BNSF's engine house. In the morning sun, it is very clear that BNSF's original "Heritage" scheme was indeed a dark green and orange, rather than the modern black and orange. BNSF 2371 started life as Forth Worth and Denver in June 1980. To date, it has not had a major rebuild, and is still standard GP38-2.

A few engine sets sit at the fuel racks at BNSF's engine facility. It looks like BNSF replaced the doors for the two tracks that enter the engine facility with transparent doors!
