The former Santa Fe "Yellow Bonnets" are definitely becoming less and less common. While I don't dislike BNSF's New Image scheme, I was always very fond of Santa Fe's paint jobs. Here, a Yellow Bonnet SD40-2 sits with a Heritage I SD40-2 near the house in Denver.

Ten years ago you could count on finding SD70MACs on BNSF's coal train on the Joint Line. While the SD70MACs certainly haven't disappeared completed, ES44ACs and SD70ACes have become far more prevalent. Here, a northbound (about to turn eastbound) coal empty is pulling through the yard.

A trio of SD40-2's, all of which have been renumbered and two of which have been rebuilt, are being wyed at the engine facility in Denver.

An interesting combo for yard switching, this former GP30 and an SD40-2 are on the Salt Mine job. I'm quite fond of the matching New Image schemes.

As more and more older units undergo rebuilds, they are also receiving repaints! This former GP30 (which is now a GP39-2 "under the hood") looks pretty sharp in its New Image scheme.

After making a slightly tardy station stop, the eastbound Zephyr pulls down the Passenger Lead to continue east for Chicago. You can see Coors Field in the background, home of the best Major League baseball team this past April and worst Major League baseball team this past May...

A pair of SD40-2s and a pair of Warbonnet C44-9Ws sit on the ready track near BNSF's engine house awaiting their next assignment. Coors Field can be seen in the distance.

Okay everybody, why is it important to not race the train to the grade crossing? About two weeks earlier, a tanker truck loaded with Ethanol attempted to beat this SD40-2 to a grade crossing. The result was a huge fireball and a lot of heat! Amazingly, nobody was hurt in the incident. The SD40-2 was doing local switching. It had no cars at the time and was running long hood forward, which is no doubt what saved the crew.

A trio of units sit near BNSF's engine shop in Denver as a (somewhat unusual) morning storm moves in toward Denver from the southwest. An interesting note about UP 5701. That was the number ex-Rio Grande GP60 #3155 was originally slated to get in UP's roster. However, the GP60s were moved into the 1900-number series before the unit could actual pick up the number.

This is a little bit of an odd sight! A UP C44AC-CTE is poking its head out of BNSF's engine shop in Denver. BNSF was borrowing the unit from UP, and at this moment the unit was being used to drag a unit out of the engine facility.

In the foreground, UP 1989 and Amtrak 6 back down the passenger lead into Union Station. In the distance, the Colorado Rockies play the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field. The Pirates would go on to win, 7-3.

The eastbound Zephyr, led by UP 1989, backs down the passenger lead and into Union Station. Sure wish there had been a bit more water gathered in that pool on the ground!

Arriving in Denver just a few minutes late, the California Zephyr is led by UP 1989 into BNSF's 31st Street Yard. The train will then back down the passenger lead into Union Station.

In the last six months, hundreds of SD40-2s (along with other, older power) has been placed in storage on all Class 1 railroads. So it was a treat to find a pair of them working on the Salt Mine switch job.
