While double stack intermodal trains are a "dime a dozen" on lines like the Transcon and the Overland, they are far less common in the Denver-Metro area. Indeed, they are probably one of the least photographed types of trains I have. However, BNSF does run a Z-Train between Denver and Chicago (and back) six days a week. The eastbound version typically departs Denver shortly after sunrise in the summer months. Here, an ES44C4 and a pair of C44-9Ws lead the hot shot east by the glass reflection of Barr Lake.

East meets west at the siding of Barr, about 17 miles northeast of Denver, is the second siding on the Brush Subdivision as you head out of Denver toward Fort Morgan and Brush, CO. Here, BNSF 6297 leads an eastbound coal empty at track speed on the main as BNSF 6017 - one of the 25th Anniversary commemorative units - sits waiting in the siding.

When a new (or rare) paint scheme shows up in town, you can bet that it'll draw the attention of railfans! Several such railfans are gathered near the west end of Barr siding to get some pictures of BNSF 6017. It was recently painted and wears a commemorative 25th Anniversary paint scheme. Hard to believe it's been 25 years since BNSF came to be.

It is hard to believe that it has in fact been 25 years since Burlington Northern merged with Santa Fe to created BNSF. That's just a year shy of how long Burlington Northern existed! It was created in 1970 and, of course, became part of BNSF in 1996 with the merger. You can see the BN logo represented on the long hood of the unit, along with Santa Fe and the railroads that merged to make BN in 1970.

The hottest train in Colorado, the ZDENCHI (Denver to Chicago) crosses the fill along Barr Lake after meeting the Zephyr at the siding of Barr. The dispatcher had a great meet set up, and the Z-Train was stopped for less than 15 minutes. I love this perspective as you get water, the plains, and mountains all in the scene.
