The unit came to Denver on a BNSF manifest as part of a power share. It was in town for less than 24 hours, departing south on President's Day. The Pennsylvania Railroad started in 1946 and was the largest railroad in the United States (in terms of traffic and revenue) for the first half of the 20th century. In its history, it actually had a budget larger than the US government and had a workforce of 250,000 people. In 1968, it merged with New York Central to create Penn Central. Eight years later, Penn Central became a part of Conrail. Finally, Conrail was split in 1999 with 58% going to Norfolk Southern.

Both are somewhat unique (as of this date). While BNSF 5282 might not seem particularly special, it is actually one of the few "New Image" (or "Swoosh") C44-9Ws on BNSF's roster. They haven't repainted too many C44-9Ws yet in the latest scheme. NS 8102, of course, is one of Norfolk Southern's numerous heritage units.

Specifically, the Pennsy unit (NS 8102). It came to Denver the day before on a BNSF manifest. It had a quick turnaround and was headed back south in the afternoon on BNSF's HDENAMS (Denver, CO to Amarillo, TX). Unfortunately, as seen here, the heritage unit did not lead. However, one of the few "New Image" or "Swoosh" painted BNSF C44-9Ws was on the point. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The observation tower at Elitch's Amusement Park is clearly visible in the distance. The local runs on Monday's and Friday's, switching industries along the north end of the Joint Line.
