A rare shot of the back end of an F59PH! This unit came up the Joint Line earlier in the day. It is currently being placed at the House while waiting to depart.

Talk about a nice sampling of paint schemes! A C44-9W wears the original Heritage scheme while a second C44-9W sports the Heritage II scheme. Then, on the tail end, an ES44DC has the New Image scheme.

A train headed for the Joint Line is coming out of the yard in Denver with a pretty descent-looking Warbonnet on the point! That Warbonnet is letting loose on a bit of exhaust!

I figure it is also worth posting pictures of Warbonnets, even if they are just sitting around at the time of the shot! A C40-8W and an SD75M are sitting, waiting for their next assignment.

I thought that this was worth posting because it is a sight that is becoming less and less common! SD70MACs used to rule on BNSF coal trains. Now, AC4400CWs, ES44ACs and SD70ACes are on coal trains all the time. I thought it was a nice bonus that both units were wearing the Heritage II scheme.

Wow! This unit hasn't been around too terribly long and it has already been beat up quite a bit. This is a Kansas City Southern de Mexico SD70ACe in the "Retro Belle" scheme on the Denver to Kansas City manifest.

A badly washed out Warbonnet sits on the service track near the diesel shop in Denver. Unfortunately, the majority of Warbonnets look more like this these days. Closer to white and pink rather than silver and red!

A Norfolk Southern C40-9W was hanging out with BNSF power near the diesel shops. Norfolk Southern ordered their Dash-9s from GE with 4,000 HP instead of 4,400 HP, hence the C40-9W designation instead of the typical C44-9W designation.

One of the originally painted Heritage Units hangs out on the ready track at BNSF's Diesel Shop. With the yard shut down, it probably won't be going anywhere for a few days!

The second extremely clean warbonnet that I've seen in the past week was sitting near the shops in BNSF's yard. Not sure where it would be off to next, but here's hopping it stays looking this good for awhile to come.

I thought it was interesting that I happened to see this Norfolk Southern unit hanging out in Denver. Why? Because it is the exact same unit on shot on the Pueblo-Provo the day before Thanksgiving! Looks like it made the round trip back to Denver from Provo.

I was surprised to come across this Great Western GP20MQ hanging out near BNSF's diesel shop in Denver. Not exactly sure where the unit was headed, but it was a nice change of pace.

You can't go wrong with the Warbonnet paint scheme! It was great when ATSF (and even BNSF) briefly brought the scheme back in the 1990s. This SD75M was one of the units lucky enough to get the Warbonnet scheme.

A nice roster shot of a C44-9W leads the HDENLAU. The train is cutting out a bad order car at which time it will proceed north up the Front Range Sub. The second unit is a former ATSF SD75M, now wearing the Heritage 2 scheme.

A long shot looking down two of the ready tracks in Denver. BNSF 653 once wore silver and red as it was originally delivered as ATSF 653. Note the back side of Coors Field in the distance, where the Colorado Rockies play during the baseball season.
