It might appear that the signal is displaying a red over dark aspect, but it is actually red over flashing red...the shot is just in the middle of the flash. This is a restricting indication as the siding of Irondale does not have any occupancy. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

There currently is no route for the train to get through the yard to Rennicks, so it has to hold here for one eastbound manifest.

While coal has all but disappeared from the Moffat, coal is still flowing regularly from the power river in Wyoming, down the Brush Sub to the Joint Line. Upon reaching Denver, this southbound train will tie down at South Denver to wait for a recrew. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It appears as though it may be related to the remote control capabilities of the unit. No doubt this unit will be used as a yard switcher either at 38th Street or Rennicks.

BNSF 784 is one such example on this westbound manifest. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

While I realize it may be a bit redundant to post roster shots of all four units, I prefer getting good coverage of units that may be unique and are unlikely to be seen - at least by me - again in the future.

They do have a few key differences, however, such as the bulge sticking up along the top of the long hood, an increased slope on the radiator housing, and new grills along the air intakes.
