Yard Shots Hollis and Eastern
Here was a very lucky catch of a unit that just happened to be passing through town! This is a GP10 of Illinois Central vintage. More recently, this little unit has served as one of two units on the Hollis Eastern. A railroad in southwestern Oklahoma that has about 13 miles of track total. I don't know why 50% of their motive power was in Denver on this day.

Yard Shots CSX
I went ahead and grabbed a roster shot of this AC4400CW, if for no other reason then because I have very few pictures of CSX units on my site! After all, Colorado isn't exactly CSX country...

A very colorful consist leads up BNSF's daily Kansas City to Denver manifest. Among the three BNSF C44-9Ws is a CSX AC4400CW and a Hollis & Eastern GP10!

Definitely a good morning for interesting power in the BNSF yard in Denver! Internally, this is now an SD40-2...however, externally, it still looks exactly like the SD45-2 that it was built as over thirty years ago.

BNSF 2745 was once a GP30 but it has since been rebuilt. Note the fact that the middle radiator fan is missing. It is now a GP39-2R. And, it is paired up with a GP28M.

A rebuilt GP39-2M (which looks like a GP30) is paired up with a GP39-2 to work on some switching in the yard.

I have been reading that BNSF has been getting rid of their GP30s (or, former/rebuilt GP30s, as the case may be). However, this former GP30 is looking pretty sharp in the New Image scheme. It is a GP30 in appearance only. It has in fact been rebuilt into a GP39-2M.

Some of BNSF SD70MACs will be coming up on 20 years of service soon. These work horses have spent the majority of their tenure in coal service and seem to have worked really well.

I certainly prefer "action" shots to "roster" shots, but I think it's also good to get some roster shots of the current power roaming the rails!

It's actually been several months since I went down to the yards, but it seems I picked the right Sunday to do so! Check out this string of classic EMD power sitting near the house.

While it might look like a GP30, BNSF 2809 has been rebuilt and is now designated as a GP39M. Meanwhile, what's up with the blue and white BNSF unit? This is a former Conrail GP38AC that BNSF has acquired. For the time being, they simply added their logo to the unit until some point in the future when it receives a full repaint. This blue and white scheme has earned these units the nickname "smurfs".

I'm not exactly sure where this Utah Railway GP38-2 (disguised as a GP35) is headed. but it was just hanging out at the BNSF engine shop. It was originally an Espee GP35 that has been rebuilt, and internally it is now a GP38-2.

Yard Shots BNSF, Canadian Pacific
Here's a pretty rare visitor to Colorado! I have very few shots of any Canadian Pacific units on my website. So the fact that this is a standard cab SD40-2 makes it that much better.

Yard Shots Norfolk Southern, BNSF
A string of five units sit ready for assignment, basking away in the later afternoon sun. The front-most unit is a Norfolk Southern SD70M-2, which don't make their way to Colorado very often. In the distance, a "Rocktober" banner is still posted on Coors Field, thanks to the Rockies fantastic performance since June.

Two DPU units on the tail end of a southbound coal load push hard on Main Two. Meanwhile, the Salt Mine switch job pulls on a string of cars on the right side of the shot.
