Photo ID: 108469 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, September 5, 2020 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Barr Adams County, CO 1177 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Brush (BNSF) BNSF 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 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.

In the distance, you can see Longs Peak, one of Colorado's numerous 14-ers, standing tall in the morning sun. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

However, in the summer months, there is still a bit of light when it heads east. Here, just days before the official start of summer, the Chicago-bound train is right on time as it passes by Barr Lake, about 18 miles east of Denver Union Station.

There is a coal load holding the main east of Irondale (the next siding to the west) and, as a result, the local here is approaching a red intermediate, the tail end of the coal load just on the opposite side.

Railroads continue to rebuild and use EMD power that is 40+ years old! Here, the Hudson Turn sports two GP38-2. The first unit receive a repaint after its last rebuild, and sports the New Image scheme. The second units still wears the original Heritage scheme. While subtle, this shot clearly shots that the Heritage scheme did indeed use a very dark green, whereas the New Image scheme just uses black.

The bridge offers a pretty good view of westbounds. Such is the case with this shot of the westbound Hudson Turn. The train entirely consists of tank cars and covered hoppers, and is blocked accordingly. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
