After power has been serviced, it is moved by hostlers to the ready tracks, seen here. C44-9Ws and SD70MACs are not uncommon here. Of interesting is the KCS SD70ACe, which I shot earlier in the day on the HLAUDEN. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I'm a fan of the spartan cab (and these were some of the last spartan cabs produced by EMD), and I really like the blue and white scheme too. Granted they look a bit better in 1987 when they were new to the rails, but I'll always take advantage of two of them coupled together. I doubt their leases will last much longer...

These were some of the last units delivered to Burlington Northern in the Cascade Green scheme. For nearly 18 years, they kept their numbers in the 9200's. Recently they were moved to the 8100's to make room for new units on BNSF's roster. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It turns out that these units were most recently used on the Valmont coal train. UP runs the train from the mines to Denver; BNSF runs the train from Denver to the power plant in Boulder. UP keeps two units on the train for the duration. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The unit was damaged in a derailment in early 2007. The body was fixed up easily enough, but it has yet to get a fresh paint job.

Here, after 8:00pm, the head end of the westbound Zephyr is approaching the diamond at 23rd Street. In the distance, on the left side of the picture, note the eastbound Zephyr (running a few minutes late), preparing to back into Union Station.

The eastbound Zephyr must borrow a part of BNSF's yard in order to back into Union Station on the Passenger Lead. Note the conductor from the head end walking to throw a switch.

A Norfolk Southern "Catfish" (a name given to NS C44-9Ws by railfans) is sandwiched by two Warbonnets. Unfortunately, the second Warbonnet was blocked by additional power and I couldn't include any more of the unit. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
