At the south end of the Littleton Trench, BNSF 1776 and BNSF 3336 lead an Employee Appreciation Special north. The train just completed the first of two runs south from Denver to Littleton. Denver-based BNSF employees and their families were welcome to ride the passenger train for the roughly 12 mile (one way) trip.

BNSF 1776, sporting a fantastic red, white, and blue scheme in honor of the United States 250th Birthday, heads north on Main 1 toward the Littleton Trench, just north of the start of the triple track at Littleton.

A storm that generated dime-sized hail in Denver, and could possible release quarter-sized hail on the plains, makes for a dramatic backdrop to BNSF 2026, which just finished its southbound run from Denver to Littleton. The train will shortly depart north to go back to Denver.

I really like the flags that BNSF decided to add to the 2026 here in Denver for the journey south on the Joint Line to Littleton. The Employee Appreciation Special will shortly depart north to head back to Denver to unload passengers and load new passengers before a second departure this evening at 6pm.

I was very fortunate to come across this American Flag along the tracks. A perfect subject in the foreground with BNSF 1776 in the background. BNSF 1776 is painted in a special scheme to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the United States this year. The unit is on an Employee Appreciation Special here just south of Littleton on Main 1.

This southbound coal load is passing over the C-470 freeway and underneath the relatively new onramp from southbound US-85 onto eastbound C-470. The train is on Main 1, owned here by Union Pacific, and dispatched by BNSF.
