At least six of these units will be assigned to a BNSF oil empty that has not arrived in town later in the afternoon. 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.

The string of four units close to the camera is the power for the Beer Run that will head out to Golden later in the day. The GP40-2 and SD40-2 will serve as the power on the Golden Switch this week. That is the local that runs east out of Golden to switch industries along the line. 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 150 (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.

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.

Meaning units without a cab. The units still had a prime mover and traction motors, but could only be controlled when MU'd to other units. Such units are quite rare today, but it just so happened that an SD45-2B was coming through town at BNSF's Engine House today. SPTX 5703 has a bit of a storied history. It was actually originally delivered as a standard SD45-2 (with a cab). In fact, this was the unit that Santa Fe painted in red, white, and blue to celebrate the Bicentennial in 1976. However, in October 1987, Santa Fe converted three SD45-2s into B-units, removing their cabs. ATSF 5703 was one such unit. Note that the dynamic brakes were moved forward to the area where the cab had once been located to help improve cooling. The unit is now owned by a private individual named Noah McCann, and it is reportedly headed to Middletown, IA. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

You can clearly see where the smaller center radiator fan on the long hood was once located. I suspect it was removed to reduce maintenance costs, as the fan was a different size. I find it interesting that UP got rid of all of their old GP30s and GP35s, while BNSF opted to keep much of the power, simply rebuilding it.

Two Cascade Green SD40-2s, a New Image GP40M (originally a GP40-2), and a New Image SD40-2. Crazy to think that this would have been a fairly typical consist for a road train 30-40 years ago.

Granted, the paint is pretty seriously faded, but it still nice to see. BNSF 1958 was once numbered BN 6351; you can see the old number starting to show through the pain at the tail end of the long hood.

The green scheme, with the Mt Rainier stamps, looks very nice. Here, the train set is back toward BNSF's 31st Yard so it can depart south on the Joint Line.
