I suppose it is a good problem when compared to the types of problems the Rock Island or the Pennsy once had. BNSF is under powered, under manned, and over capacity. This McCook-bound manifest was supposed to pass this spot close to 36 hours earlier. But it got tied down in western Colorado due to a shortage of available crews. Then, when it finally reached Denver, it was again supposed to depart around 0900. A crew wasn't called for it until 1230 and then it had several problems getting going. It is nearly 1700 in this shot as the train holds at the east end of yard for westbound traffic. It would remain here until after 1830. That means that in the six hours the crew was on duty (half their time), the train moved just a hair over three miles! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This is the 2nd of Norfolk Southern's 20 heritage units that I have been lucky enough to shoot in Denver. Central of Georgia started WAY back in 1833 (as the Central Rail Road and Canal Company). It acquired a lot of railroads in the 19th century and, in 1956, operated 2,646 miles of track. On June 17, 1963, the railroad became a subsidiary of Southern Railway which, of course, was one of the founding railroads of today's Norfolk Southern.
