Photo ID: 104485 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, October 19, 2013 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Lodo Denver, CO 1880 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Colorado Springs (UP)/Pikes Peak (BNSF) Regional Transportation District This is a scene that is drastically changed in the last 15 years. 15 years ago, the tracks, the bridges and a field is just about all you would have found! Dozens of buildings have been built in that time and the tracks (both the Joint Line and Light Rail) now run through was is essentially a trench of buildings! Even just five years ago, the building to the left was a parking lot. In this shot, an RTD "E" Line train approaches the Denver Station as a southbound coal load proceeds on Main 2. A northbound empty is stopped on Main 1. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

But, I must admit, over the years (and through the models...from SD9043MAC to SD70ACe), the look has grown on me. I am still not crazy about the funky notch-nose, but otherwise, I like the look of the SD70ACe. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

At that point, the tracks here were still mostly in a field, with just a few of the buildings under construction. Here, an SD70ACe leads a coal load south on Main 1 alongside an empty stopped on Main 2. (The 8,100-foot Lodo Siding sits empty to the right).

There is something rather unusual about this coal empty that you may not realize at first. It is being led by a C44-9W, which has DC traction motors instead of AC traction motors.
